Part 9/11:
Negative: Excessive caffeine intake can lead to jitters, palpitations, headaches, or sleep disturbances. The general upper safe limit is about 400 mg per day—roughly four cups of three-in-one coffee.
Risks of additives: High sugar and trans fat consumption can negate some health benefits, contributing to obesity, heart disease, and other health issues.
Making Your Coffee Healthier
If you want to enjoy your daily coffee while minimizing health risks, consider personalizing your brew:
- Use black instant coffee and add your own controlled amounts of sugar (preferably natural sweeteners like stevia) and milk (preferably low-fat or plant-based alternatives).
