Coffee is a favorite beverage around the world. And, apparently we drink not enough of it. At least that’s what US nutrition experts conclude.

Five cups a day is a lot, on average no nation drinks more than about two. But if you can stomach it, don’t be afraid to drink more coffee. And in case you’re wondering—no, drinking energy drinks does not have the same, or any, health benefits.
Drinking more coffee will benefit your health, seriously
