Drinking too many teas, coffees or soft drinks could be a heart disease risk, according to doctors in India who are warning against “chronic caffeine consumption”.

“Drinking over 400mg (equivalent to four cups of coffee) of caffeine per day on most days of the week could increase the susceptibility of otherwise healthy individuals to cardiovascular disease,” the researchers told attendees at a recent American College of Cardiology (ACC) conference in Delhi, India.
