Adults can safely drink up to five cups of coffee a day. The American Heart Association now says bigger amounts usually don’t raise heart trouble. Coffee may even support the heart because of compounds it contains. Energy drinks don’t compare. They load caffeine and sugar in ways that can harm the heart. Experts agree coffee in normal doses is fine. People with heart problems should ask their doctor first.
