Some folks think it means Starbucks is good. NOPE.

Starbucks isn’t coffee. It’s actually trash:

Real coffee is this:

Also:

  • Tea is also great and healthy. Tea is not addictive.

  • If you drink coffee, avoid it after 11:AM. Seriously.

    You should know that there’s vested interest from massive drinks companies to push “caffeine is healthy” while selling caffeinated drinks with unhealthy levels of caffeine.

    All of the “a glass of redwine is healthy”-studies tuned out to be paid for by alcohol companies.

    We know how bad lobbying is.

    So don’t use this as an excuse to drink a half a gallon of energy drinks in the mornings and think it’s positive for your health.

    Ofc I’m not denying some moderate doses of drinks not filled with other shit could be healthy, I’m too lazy to go actually read the study right now.

      Breaking news: caffeine is DRUGS people!

      This is not sarcasm; it is a psychoactive stimulant on par with coke and amphetamines. Your heart and kidneys do not know what drug schedules are.

      Enjoy your psychoactive drugs responsibly kids. And remember that enjoying responsibly =/= deluding yourself into thinking they’re healthy.

        That’s… only true in the most pedantic of ways. The same kind of comparison would say that a supersonic fighterjet is on par with my inline skates, because both are modes of transport

        I agree.

        But I must point out US drug scheduling is political, not scientific.

        heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana (cannabis), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), methaqualone, and peyote.

        Schedule I drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.

        The only two actually more dangerous ones there are methaqualone and heroin. But you’d have to be kinda silly to say cannabis is schedule one and cocaine schedule two, that cannabis has “no accepted medical use”. And also strong opiates definitely have accepted medical use.

        War on drugs is bs.
