Similarly, in 2008, the International Food Information Council Foundation (IFIC Foundation) provided a comprehensive update on the research on caffeine and health in a report titled “Caffeine & Health: Clarifying the Controversies.” The IFIC suggests in the report, “For the healthy adult population, moderate caffeine consumption of 300 mg per day is safe and can even have beneficial health implications as a part of a healthful diet and physically active lifestyle” . According to the HSPH’s healthy beverage guidelines, up to three or four cups of coffee or tea per day appear to be fine for healthy adults . Moreover, the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) suggests that moderatecaffeine consumption may have some beneficial health effects, as found in some scientific studies , including potential effects against type 2 diabetes , reduced risk of coronary heart disease , etc. In a report of the safety of dietary caffeine in 1981, the American Medical Association Council on Science suggested that “moderate tea or coffee drinkers probably need have no concern for their health relative to their caffeine consumption provided other lifestyle habits (diet, alcohol consumption) are moderate, as well.” Caffeine research receives intensive attention from scientists and food/beverage industries. Caffeine is a natural chemical found in such items as tea leaves and coffee beans.
