Is coffee bad for your health?

Caffeine is the only thing about coffee that may be harmful.

Coffee consumption in general is correlated with good health outcomes. This doesn't necessarily mean it's "good for you", but based on all the evidence we have it's not harmful.

That being said, caffeine can have negative effects on individuals like anxiety and insomnia, depending on the individual and when/how much is consumed. If coffee makes you feel worse or gives you a crash, don't drink it. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

Coffee contains caffeine which is a stimulant which boosts your metabolism and makes you temporarily more alert.

It contains very few calories by itself, and is used to fight hunger like water, and as a preform out drink by some.

That being said adding sugar and creamer isn't good if you don't need it. Black coffee is an acquired taste much like beer, or you could switch to sweet 'n low and half and half.

I personally find that a good cold shower and a run in the morning give me more energy with less of a crash later. Plus, you don't get dependent on it if you miss out for a day or two.

Tea may be a better option as it contains less caffeine and it tastes nice first thing in the morning

Is coffee just a meme? I can drink an entire pot at 6 pm and fall asleep soundly at 8pm. It does nothing to me. I randomly went from drinking a pot or two a day to none at all for six months, no cravings, nothing at all different. I have never noticed any effect at all from coffee consumption.

Switch to something else or stop altogether.
Save yourself, humanity, and the planet.

Overconsumption leads to a lack of effect. It's like people smoke all the time to de-stress, or people who eat to be happy. It just ends up becoming a habit without meaning. Drink in moderation.

Green tea is a better alternative though.
