Are your daily cups of tea and coffee helping or hurting your health? Dietitian Susie Burrell breaks down the benefits and risks of caffeine, explaining how too much — especially with milk and sugar — can quietly add calories, affect nutrient absorption, and disrupt sleep. Black tea and coffee have antioxidants and can support heart health, but overdoing it can have hidden effects. For most adults, 2–4 cups a day is a safe range, with larger intakes potentially impacting sleep, heart rate, and iron absorption.

Tea and coffee can be part of a healthy diet — just watch your portion sizes, sugar, and milk. Enjoy your daily brew, but remember: balance is everything.
