Recent research has confirmed the fact that chronic high caffeine intake raises heart disease risk. Regular caffeine consumption was defined as the intake of caffeinated drinks 5 days per week for more than a year. Caffeine drinks were centered on coffee and tea as well as aerated beverages such as: Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Red Bull, Sting and Monster.
The researchers reported that 400 mg of caffeine is roughly equivalent to four cups of coffee, 10 cans of soda, or two energy drinks. The researchers said that caffeine consumption of 400 mg daily was shown to significantly impact the autonomic nervous system, raising the heart rate and blood pressure over time. If sustained over time, the elevated blood pressure could potentially pose an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
