In general, the average person can safely consume up to 400 mg of caffeine per day, the amount in three to five 8-ounce cups of coffee. If you have a medical condition or caffeine sensitivity, it’s always best to check with your doctor, and always listen to your body. If your heart is thumping much faster than usual and you feel extra shaky and jittery, it’s probably time to lay off. And if you love coffee but still want to sleep at night, Consumer Reports says finish your last cup around 2 p.m. That way, the majority of caffeine you’ve consumed has left your body by bedtime. And while coffee can be good for you, Consumer Reports says it’s still important to pay attention to what you add to your coffee drink. For every teaspoon of sugar you add you’re consuming 16 calories, and 2 ounces of whole milk adds another 38 calories and 2 grams of fat. If you like to alternate between coffee and tea during the day, CR says that can be good for you, too. In a study published last year, researchers found that people who drank two to three cups of coffee plus two or three cups of tea per day had about a 30% lower risk of dementia and stroke compared with people who didn’t drink either. #### This article tagged under: [Consumer Reports](https://www.nbcdfw.com/tag/consumer-reports/) [![](https://media.nbcdfw.com/2024/04/DFW-web@3x.png?fit=1173%2C72&quality=85&strip=all) ![](https://nbcu.tmsimg.com/assets/p25200100_b_h10_ab.jpg?w=960&h=540) on now 12:30AM: NBC 5 Late News](https://www.nbcdfw.com/watch/) ### Trending Stories -
