  Coffee filtered through paper filters to remove the cafestol, in moderation, shows marked health benefits.

      If your coffee tastes like piss and your piss smells like coffee, take a break.

  Vaping is turning out just as bad as smoking the more we learn of its long term consequencea.

      There is still a dearth of evidence compared to 100+ years we have for smoking tobacco but the more we learn the less it’s possible to ignore how it’s turning out. Remember for decades that tobacco companies white washed cigarette smoking and even tried to make it sound therapeutic.

        E-cigarettes may have the potential to benefit adults who smoke and are not pregnant if used as a complete substitute for all smoked tobacco products.

        This sentence in the last link that you included contractics the suggestion that vaping is just as bad as smoking.

  Is vitamin B really that bad for you? Or taurine?

  The caffeine is mostly what makes energy drinks unhealthy too. That and the sugar but white monster is sugar free so if you put shit in your coffee instead of drinking it properly (black and no sugar), I’d argue that coffee is just as bad for you as energy drinks.

    B6 can cause nerve damage long term. Taurine is just a part of bile, it is an amino acid that is in basically all meat. You aren’t going to get enough of it from energy drinks to swing the needle one way or the other. They also have sugar or sugar alcohols that can fuck with blood glucose in all kinds of fun ways. Coffee, on its own, is basically just caffeine and water, it is going to be healthier than most other drinks categorically.

    Honestly been wondering that a lot. I drink coffee daily. I don’t feel like it’s killing me. Surely it’s not as bad as monster, but what if the amount I drink comes close to the same impact? Is receiving a daily dose of mental stimulants not supposed be part of a healthy diet? 🫠

    also aluminium cans = microplastics

    aluminium is not safe for storing wet acidic things such as drinks, so the inside is plastic-coated

    i wonder, which is worse: the microplastics, or the aluminium salts that would be the alternative problem?
