    I would not consider 5 cups of coffee in a day to be “moderate”. Who the heck are they studying?

      A standard cup of coffee is only 6oz. Most people do 12oz mugs or buy 16-20oz servings. Really not hard to reach by those parameters. Coffee in the morning coffee in the afternoon.

      Yeah, it appears they’re two distinct statements. One is “people can safely consume up to 400mg a day” and the other is “doing so (drinking coffee) may have health benefits”. Strangely worded article for sure.

      This doesn’t make a lot of sense to me either:

      The healthiest way to drink coffee, according to the statement, is to brew it with paper filters or use instant—drinking unfiltered filtered coffee such as espresso is associated with higher levels of “bad” cholesterol—and avoid adding creamers, sugar, or flavored syrups.

      Why would the manner in which the coffee is prepared matter - assuming the final amount of ingested caffeine being the same? Maybe we DO need more research into this.
