Event Summary

The American Heart Association (AHA) released a scientific statement in Circulation concluding that up to 400 mg of caffeine per day (about 3-5 cups of coffee) is safe for most adults and may lower risk of cardiovascular disease, heart failure, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. The statement distinguishes coffee from energy drinks, which are linked to cardiovascular harm. It emphasizes that benefits apply to paper-filtered or instant coffee, not unfiltered methods. Individual responses vary based on genetics. The statement was chaired by Gregory Marcus of UCSF and commented on by Jen Shah, Eugenia Gianos, and others. The National Coffee Association reported that 66% of US adults drink coffee daily.
