Wake up and sell the coffee

This is a good article setting out what is currently known about the effects of caffeine and coffee drinking. Good reference article.
the one common line that is detectable from most of the experts and the bulk of the literature: up to 450mg of caffeine per day (four to five cups) will not be harmful to the average adult, 300mg is a safe limit for pregnant women, and young people shouldn't be encouraged to start drinking too early. Too much was clearly a bad thing, she says, 'but so is everything, including water'. And beyond that, it is only certain that coffee science is even now in its infancy, and we are still at that stage where the only reliable experiments are those we perform on ourselves.
