Too much coffee can lead to weight gain and other health problems, even if drinkers stick to decaffeinated, according to research.
Experts warned that drinking five or more cups a day increased the amount of fat stored in the abdomen.
It was revealed that even a “moderate intake” of coffee in the average day could also lead to problems such as increased risk of heart disease and diabetes.

If you are drinking five cups of coffee a day you are probably eating and drinking a lot of other things that will really build up your fatty deposits.

I drink a pot of coffee every morning just freeping with y’all.
Well I do touch mine up with a little Crown Royal every now and then.
Wow...I drink at least 4 cups before 6am everyday! Just coffee...no foods.

What a disgusting, immoral country we have become.
How big are those cups?
“Buncha Hooey”
My words were slightly different but the sentiment is the same.
I am embarrassed by 99% of what passes as medical “research” these days.
If true, Krispy Kreme Christie drinks 50 gallons a day....

Agree!! Also makes me wonder in whether this study included various types of high calorie coffee drinks (e.g. with cream, sugar, other flavorings, latte, etc).
Double D’s...
Same here. I get up around 5am every morning and typically have a pot and a half of coffee before going to work. Guess I'm doomed.

Jim Beam!
I have a 4 cup Mr. Coffee maker...
