How much caffeinated coffee is too much to drink in a day?

Question by : How much caffeinated coffee is too much to drink in a day?
I drink anywhere from 1-3 or sometimes 4 cups of caffeinated coffee in a day is this too much? I’ve had arguments with relatives who think that this is too much coffee to drink in a day.
The people who said that this is too much coffee said how it can give you heart/blood pressure problems is this true?

Taken from a nutrition web site:

‘It is generally agreed that consuming up to 300 mg of caffeine per day is safe. That would be about the amount of caffeine you would get from three cups of coffee…’

‘…Increasing the amount of caffeine you take in over 300 mg per day may give you “caffeine jitters.” Larger amounts of caffeine may make you irritable, sleepless and may even trigger anxiety and cause diarrhea.’

Guess that pretty much sums it up. 6 cups of coffee is the maximum to have before it starts causing problems with your heart. I say the amount you have is ok.
