Is drinking coffee good for you?

Drinking up to 4 cups of coffee every day may help prevent several chronic diseases, including Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus and liver disease, according to studies. ¹

There is also little evidence that drinking coffee increases the risk of cancer.

However, some groups, including pregnant women, children, adolescents, the elderly and people with high blood pressure should remain cautious. Pregnant women, for instance, who drink more than 3 cups of coffee per day increase the risk of spontaneous abortion or impaired fetal growth. ¹
