Drinking 3-4 Cups of Coffee Is “More Likely to Benefit Health Than to Harm It”

We seem way too focused on whether coffee is good or bad for our health.

All I know is it tastes fucking delicious, it makes me feel good, and we've been drinking it for generations. If I die earlier because of it, then so be it. At least I'll have had an enjoyable coffee-drinking life.

On the other hand if coffee drinking causes strokes you could live for years with severe impairment.

I'll take my chances and just not worry about it :)

I don't think I've ever heard of a person in old age lamenting, "If only I hadn't enjoyed coffee so much!"

Cigarettes on the other hand...the effects of those are a lot more clear-cut.

At one point a similar sentiment could have been expressed about smoking
