How many cups of Coffee should you have in a day?
I LOVE coffee, especailly cappucino( my nickname makes it obvious i guess). Alothough i drink about 2-3 cupz everyday, i drink more when i've been having a long day. But really, how many is enough?
And when is the best time to drink it, because i've heard it can suck up any protien or iron you've taken in if you drink it after eating?
Answers:
If you were male, and wanted to prevent getting gout - four or more cups per day. (http://www.lockergnome.com/nexus/news/20...
But other than that ,
Other research shows that compared to not drinking coffee, at least two cups daily can translate to a 25% reduced risk of colon cancer, an 80% drop in liver cirrhosis risk, and nearly half the risk of gallstones.
And ''They suggested for people with high blood pressure or other risk factors for heart disease who drink more than 3 cups of coffee a day to cut down."
So its not clear cut as to what is too much.

only one :)
technically, you shouldn't drink coffee because of the caffiene, but since it is very high in antioxidants, you could drink one at most a day.
if you need it for the boost, take it first thing in the am. but, if you like tea, you could make the switch & drink ORGANIC (regular teas have too much flouride in them because of the soil) green tea or yerba mate which gives you a little boost, and you can drink a couple of cups a day, one early in the am, and the other after you eat to help w/ digestion.
3 cups is perfectly fine.
coffee is rich in anti-oxidants... its good for you.
I drink about a pot a day.
Recently, coffee was found to reduce the chances of developing cirrhosis of the liver: the consumption of 1 cup a day was found to reduce the chances by 20%, and 4 cups a day reduced the chances by 80%.[29]
1 cup a day. <*-*>
