That is a great comparison, and it makes me crazy.
Coffee is good for you. Coffee is bad for you. Repeat cycle.
Wine is good for you. Wine is bad for you. Repeat cycle.
Vitamin E is good for you. Vitamin E is bad for you. Repeat cycle.
Iron is good for you. Iron is bad for you. Repeat cycle.
And so on.
I have reached the point I ignore that stuff completely. But some people just oscillate up and down with each pronouncement from some bozo on ABC evening news.
Coffee is good for you. Coffee is bad for you. Repeat cycle.
We’ve always been at war with EastAsia.
Coffee is good for you. Coffee is bad for you. Repeat cycle.
I think part of what drives that dynamic is that people want magic bullets. To be healthy, you must eat a balanced diet and exercise. But that is hard work, and too many people want an easy answer that bypasses the work. It would be wonderful if there were one magic vitamin which would guarantee perfect health if you eat it by the handful--but there isn't. It would be fantastic if obesity were really caused by consumption of one "bad" food, so that anyone wanting to avoid weight gain or lose weight would have but to avoid that one food and the pounds would evaporate. But the reality is that whether you eat that "bad" food or not--if you never drink a drop of soda, the current villain--you will not stay thin on a 5,000 calorie diet (unless you are an athlete).
P.S. Coffee is a gift from God. Enjoy it!
