Is caffeine something that should just be avoided entirely?

Yes, its shit.

There's no strong evidence suggesting that caffeine is too bad or good for usage provided that your daily consumption is moderate. (i.e. ~400mg daily)

just figure that shit out for yourself

do you like coffee? feel alright drinking it a bit? go for it

if you don't then you don't

god this shit isn't hard faggot learn to make a decision for yourself

Its only claim to fame is that it has antioxidants in it.. But so does lemonade and chocolate.

If youre in it for the energy boost realize that caffiene is ever so slightly poisoning/agitating your system giving you a slight increase in heart rate.

If you think any of that is something you should go out of your way to include in your diet... Then youre a nuffy

Also dairy is fucked too, especially in America

It's fine as long as you're not having more than 2- 3 cups in moderation a day

>>41770544
The general consensus from studies is that it's slightly beneficial when you get it from coffee (and not sugary "coffee" or energy drinks) and not harmful unless you ingest more than you can handle.

Mom, pls get off 4chan.

Even that is too much and will cause you to wake up groggy, headaches, and crashes.

Yea no, not for the general population. That's just people that are uncommonly sensitive to caffeine that have a much longer half life for it.

>>41771221
Maybe if you're having 6 shots in your lattes. Typical cup is fine

If i drink it regularly I start needing to maintain energy

If i drink it once every 1-3 weeks it feels like amphetamine and the following day my energy is at 90% of normal.

I only drink it when I really need it and I have the time to "recover".

Came here to post this. Caffeine should be something to be kept in the reserve for when it's really needed.
Regular consumption has nothing but drawbacks and whatever benefits it may have you can get these in many other ways.

OP, don't fall for stimulants.

Anti-caffeine arguments are the work of mattress lobbyists. They need you to waste money on expensive sleep systems to fund their lavish lifestyle, so they slander stimulants and try to con you into falling for the sleep meme. Just wash down a handful of caffeine pills with a mix of deathwish coffee and cannibal ferox. Maybe find a crank dealer.

Also don't forget considering amphetamines, speed or maybe crack.

Crack substitutes the need to eat so you will cut like a god. Dont starve to death tho

the same people that bitch about caffeine probably vape or smoke, smoke weed, drink alcohol, and inject steroids rofl

Also, keep in mind sensitivity changes between people. If I have even one coffee around 8 oz which is like 75mg of caffeine at 10 am I still have trouble sleeping that night.

crack as a drug is okay, if you fancy doing cocaine but only have 20 quid you can have a decent night, no hangover, couple beers and there's no comedown.

wouldn't recommend if you have a problem with cocaine. it's moreish but you won't wake up in the morning and sell your asshole for more.

if you want a functional stim, use meth or regular amphetamine/ritalin/adderal/etc.

>>41770943
this OP, can't you use google? do you even have a mind of your own? you're going to get nowhere in life if you can't even make up your own fucking mind on coffee.

Ritalin, like most psychiatric drugs, causes some brain damage over time. Also obligatory reminder that psychiatry is a pseudo science.

Now, seriously speaking, some very useful smart drugs that people should check are phenibut for high stress circumstances like during combat, first month learning game and so; and of course the all famous modafinil. Both addictive but not really a problem if you cycle them so you unlock maximum brain power.

Coffee is good for your brain and gut.

Soda and energy drinks are Jewish poison.
