Well, I know a lot of people who died in their 50's and early 60's who never drank even a cup of coffee, and I know/knew maybe hundreds who are/were in their 80's who drink at least a pot a day. So, this science makes no sense to me.
here to agree...and my father in law has been drinking coffee since he joined the Navy when he was early twenties...he'll be 99 this April. I think if anything the only bad side to coffee is all the sugars, creamers, etc we put in it these days.
Yes, look at all the additives in most coffee creamers, it's absurd how many have hydrogenated vegetable oil in them for some reason. I've seen very few on the shelf that had only milk, cream and sugar in them. If you know the ratios you can easily make your own at home.
I think hydrogenated vegetable oils (heavily processed with Petroleum, not something we should be consuming whatsoever) is a far bigger problem than lactose
"I know lots of tall women and quite a few short men, so the science that men are on average taller than women makes no sense to me."
Anecdotes are not data. Human brains are bad at handling statistical information. I'm not saying this article is right or wrong but your intuitive sense of mortality among your personal acquaintances is not a good way to judge it.
This article didn't talk about averages nor did it present any data, and if their conclusions are believable, there ought to be some evidence observable over time that individuals can observe. Like the weird thing we're all seeing in our personal lives with the uptick in all ages of heart disease and turbo cancers and vaccinated people getting covid constantly. And it's not climate change, which was, not too long ago, called global warming
It's almost as if the wide levels of genetic variation across the species lead to wildly different outcomes for individuals.
Science that tells you something is fully good or fully bad for people is not science. It's the product of an intern who was not supervised properly, or someone who was paid to lie to you.
The obvious thing you can, and should ask, is "are there food pairings which reduce the negative impacts of caffeine while leaving the positive ones?" If they didn't even suggest that question, then they're latter type, and they're just flat out lying to you.
Used to work in a nursing home kitchen for years, the residents used black coffee as a laxative to stay regular, because their medications caused constipation

...exactly, and one of the main culprits is ' lactose ' go lactose free and u will b fine
I digest lactose just fine and consume milk and milk products daily, project your lack of enzyme production onto someone else.

Mormons don't drink coffee, but many will slip a No-Doz instead.
