How much coffee is too much?

Researchers at the University of South Australia tried to find the answer.

They found drinking six or more cups of coffee a day is the tipping point.

The team studied 347,000 people, and found more than six cups can increase your risk of heart disease by 22-percent.

But they found significant benefits to drinking coffee daily, including a reduced risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes.
