It's linked to increased blood pressure, increased risk of heart disease, kidney problems, etc, but as you mention there's not anything rock solid and there's also relatively recent studies that show positive effects.

For people that intake less than 400mg a day.

That's the tricky bit. Do you know how many mgs of caffeine you take in on a daily basis?

Right, yeah that's sort of the conclusion I've reached - sort of a "correlation may not imply causation" type situation.

I drink one 300g cup of coffee a day, except on very rare instances where I'll have like two or three cups in a day. My average daily caffeine intake is probably around ~100mg, which is well under any demonstrably dangerous limits that I've seen.
