Tag: Coffee dependency

According to research, it's possible to develop a physical dependence on caffeine with daily doses as low as 100 mg. This increasing dependency on the substance is the primary reason why you need so much caffeine to feel normal, as your body builds a tolerance to its effects over time.

According to the FDA, most healthy adults can safely consume up to 400 mg of caffeine daily, which is roughly four 8-ounce cups of coffee. Drinking 7 cups of coffee a day pushes you significantly past this recommended limit and can trigger a range of negative side effects, from anxiety to insomnia.
