Coffee is bad.
Coffee is good.

Butter is bad.
Butter is good.

Wine is good.
Wine is bad.

Eggs are good.
Eggs are bad.

Why does anyone pay attention to nutritionists? Their judgment seems based primarily on which lobbyist group sent the most recent check.

“Since 2015, black coffee has been included in the Department of Health and Human Services’ dietary guidelines, which suggest that up to five cups of coffee per day is safe.”

Challenge accepted! ;)

Only two cups for me in the AM. WITH creamer, so screw this study, LOL! My Dad drank black coffee all day at work and all evening at home. One of my ‘jobs’ as a kid was to have that coffee maker perking, as I got home from school maybe 15 minutes before he got home from work.

That, and baking my family-famous Chocolate Chip Cookies. (Hint: The ‘secret recipe’ is on the bag of chips!)

I have been reading the research on coffee, which is pretty good. It included long term following of large populations (thousands of people over decades) and double blind animal studies with multiple controls such as hot water, caffeine and hot water, instant coffee and brewed coffee fed to mice.

The concensus of these studies is coffee is good for you. Instant coffee does not produce the health benefits brewed coffee does. Caffeine by itself does not provide the health benefits.

Brewed coffee, with its natural mix of many complicated biological molecules provides multiple benefits.

My Mother quit coffee during her first two pregnancies because that’s what you did in the 50s. When pregnant with me she had a 3yo and a 2yo to deal with and drank coffee like a fiend. Neither of my sisters care for coffee or soda, but I have been a caffeine addict my whole life and drink a Mr coffee 12 cup pot of dark roast coffee every day, sometimes more. No sugar or substitutes but I usually add a dash of milk.

Is “boiled coffee” the same as french press coffee?

If the water is too hot, it destroys some of the molecular benefits.

From BRAVE AI:

Boiling water can actually extract more caffeine from coffee grounds than water that’s not boiling, but it can also make coffee taste bitter and unpleasant. The ideal water temperature for brewing coffee is between 195° and 205° F, which is just below boiling.

My dad taught me to drink coffee black, you never know when cream and sugar are unavailable. I drink a nice Mexican dark roast.

This is horrible! We are not supposed to drink coffee. Coffee is for the “elites”, not us:

WEF speaker warns every time we drink coffee, we are ‘putting CO2 into the atmosphere’ — says each ton of Joe emits an alarming 15 to 20 tons of CO2. Is it time to give up your daily brew?

Your cup of coffee is made with boiling water but you are responsible for the boiling oceans!

How much CO2 is released when we open a can of soda or fountain drink?

Or Perrier?...................

Thanks...I found this...FP coffee is unfiltered...
“But you should know that diterpenes have been shown to have a negative impact on health. “Five to eight cups a day of unfiltered coffee may actually raise your ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol,” says Dr. Eric Rimm, a professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.”

FWIW

I wonder how you get 15 tons of CO2 out of 1 ton of coffee. The water? Then let's blame water!

STOP DRINKING WATER!!!

coffee is a plant-based drink

So is beer!

In my early twenties I used to drink about 12 cups per day but developed terrible reflux so I gave it up for a few months then went to one large cup.per day for years. But recently I’ve creeped back up to about 3 cups since I bought a machine and started using the pods.
