The people who say they need 3 cups of black coffee to start their day are just addicts with a high tolerance that experience mild withdrawal symptoms each morning.

If you feel like that, it’s your body crying for you to take a break.

If you like an occasional cup of coffee or energy drink to get through something, then that’s fine. But if you ever feel like one isn’t working like it used to, you should take a break from caffeine to reset your tolerance, not up the dosage like an addict.

    While I suppose it could be good to reset the caffeine addiction (it takes 3 weeks), three cups of black coffee is generally healthy. In fact, the mayo clinic (and many other sources/studies show that drinking coffee daily may help with preventing Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes, liver disease, including liver cancer, heart attack, and stroke. Plus it’s an antioxidant and helps you shit regularly.

    There are some risks as well, but less of them and they’re more like possible issues that you may want to stop drinking coffee for if you have any of the symptoms.

    So if you’re a “coffee addict”, at least your addiction is making you live longer and healthier.

      And the massive coffee industry pumps out these studies every year. Don’t forget how energy drinks like Red Bull with lower caffeine density will kill you… don’t you dare quit or switch.

          You’re a coffee drinker, it’s ok to be offended. That’s the withdrawal. Try to find credible, verifiable, reproducible evidence to justify how many times we hear about the “health benefits” of coffee. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
