And your doctor wasn't familiar with this early research? A fireable offense!

How Coffee May Protect Brain Health: A New Study Suggests The Benefits Aren't Just From Caffeine December 2018

I do coffee all day, takes that long to get in a 12 cup pot of coffee. This won't change my habit, it's mainly to reduce my dementia and Parkinsons risk and no one knows the amounts for that.

I'm still doing a 12 cup pot of coffee daily to prevent Parkinsons and frailty! Much more important than any problems it can cause.

I think I'm in this category:  I never get the jitters or flushed skin.

Genetics determine how much coffee you can drink before it goes wrong

I'm doing a 12 cup pot of coffee a day with full fat milk to lessen my chances of dementia and Parkinsons. Tell me EXACTLY how much coffee to drink for that and I'll change. Yep, that is a lot more than the 400mg. suggested limit, I don't care! Preventing dementia and Parkinsons is vastly more important than whatever problems it can cause! 

Of course, your fuckingly incompetent? doctor did nothing with this from 2+ years ago! And still hasn't created a 24 hour coffee station

This line is great: The findings indicate that even the Espresso Martini cocktail contains the espresso's beneficial compounds - and can contribute to staving off dementia.

Is coffee bad for the heart? New research links it to a major risk—and multiple benefits

Adults who drink a lot of coffee may face an increased heart attack risk, according to new meta-analysis published in BMC Cardiovascular Disorders.[1] On the other hand, high coffee intake was linked to a multiple benefits in the same study.

“At low doses, caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, resulting in diuresis, smooth muscle relaxation, cardiac/heart muscle stimulation and increased gastric secretion in adults,” wrote first author Eman E. Shaban, MBBCh, a researcher with the cardiology department at Al Jufairi Diagnosis and Treatment in Qatar, and colleagues. “Moreover, caffeine consumption has been recognized to have several positive effects on human health, including the prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, cancer and Parkinson's disease. However, the mechanism behind these benefits is not clearly understood and is not believed to be related to caffeine since decaffeinated coffee also shows similar effects. On the other hand, high doses of caffeine have been shown to contribute to anxiety, nausea, and nervousness.”(Not if you process caffeine fast like I do.)

With all of that context in mind, Shaban et al. hoped to provide an updated snapshot at the relationships between coffee intake and cardiovascular health. The group’s meta-analysis focused on 38 different studies involving more than 2.8 million patients.

Overall, researchers found that coffee consumption was not associated a patient’s risk of coronary heart disease or heart failure. Patients who drink a lot of coffee, however, were linked to a significantly higher risk of experiencing a myocardial infarction (MI).
