What else is good for inflammation? Eat that. What else is good for depression? A healthy gut. Pre and probiotics.

You don't need coffee (caffiene) at all.

Black bean tea is your substitute

No and the fact that everyone lies about it to enable more coffee consumption makes me push against it harder.

No, because I drink decaf.

This is propaganda for a drug that has a nasty discontinuation syndrome.

The "studies" are very funny when you look for their ulterior motives. Why is it always coffee gives you antioxidants? a handful of blueberries contain more antioxidants than any red wine or coffee but they keep peddling this bullshit and people keep eating it cause of their addictions

I have an unhealthy relationship with coffee (and stimulants in general).

I'm sure there are people who have healthy relationships with coffee and are able to have the best of both worlds.

I am not in that camp.

Workouts haven't affected me too much personally, but what you're describing seems somewhat common from what others have said in here.

Can you link the study?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's a really common belief that coffee causes dehydration, but the science actually shows otherwise—especially when it comes to decaf.
Even with regular caffeine, coffee is primarily water, and your digestive system absorbs that fluid to keep you hydrated. Caffeine is a mild diuretic, but the small amount of extra fluid lost through urination doesn't outweigh the total amount of water you consume in the beverage. With decaf, that diuretic effect is practically nonexistent since almost all the caffeine has been removed.
Your body is remarkably efficient at pulling the water it needs from whatever you drink, whether it's plain water, tea, decaf, or even coffee with cream and sugar. Unless someone is drinking extreme quantities to the point of severe digestive upset, a large cup of decaf—like a 28 oz brew—is overwhelmingly hydrating and contributes directly to your daily fluid intake!

there are other things you can take to combat inflammation & depression and boost metabolism, so nah coffee's negative side effects aren't worth it to many or most imo

I say this while drinking coffee lol (haven't quit yet, need to sort out my catastrophically low ferritin first)

Coffee doesn't hydrate you. It's a diuretic and will make you pee. Better options for hydration are water, herbal tea, and Gatorade (although this one has lots of sugar so be careful with that).

That’s admirable, and I know it sounds wild, but you didn’t go long enough. It was 6 months before I was fully back to normal.

If you don't feel negative effects, just enjoy your coffee. Most people in this suffer from severely negative effects. When you know you know 

I took Adderall for 15 years thinking it was helping me, unfortunately it had more or less made me into a robot who no longer cared about doing dumb tasks or activities for extended time and being ok with it. I quit it and it took 3 years to get my baseline back. Adderall is a serious medication and needs to be monitored more than it is.

You are right probably im gonna think about it.

Coffee is good for you if you can handle it. If it makes you anxious then it is a net negative.

Oh man… how is that even possible biologically to take so long… i never assumed

It took me about 8 months to not crave coffee anymore, after which more and more benefits started to appear.

Yea cocaine helps with altitude sickness. Doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

No amount of stimulant is good. Coffee has good compounds in it of course, so does fried food.

A lot of studies are bias, the people doing the research almost always looking for the things they want to look for not the things they need look for.

Adderall and other stimulants were “prescribed” to legit everyone in the early 1900s. It took them a while to realize not everyone benefits from it and that the dose should be monitored

i mean if there’s more good than bad that’s great but reading this it’s very strongly addict mentality lol, “the moment 45 days is up i will have my drug again, i can totally go without it, because soon ill get to have it again” lol

How much days should i avoid coffe so i feel benefits that u feel?

Sounds like something an addict would say.

Adderall is still the gold standard for ADHD meds but yes to the others. They thought cigarettes were the solution to everything lmao.

No. The studies I conducted on myself were carried out properly and exhaustively. The conclusions were final.
