- llm_nerd 2mo agoThe study links it to better metabolic health. Did you assume it meant worse?
- bjt 2mo agoI think they're saying that coffee is a healthier habit than soda.
- KPGv2 2mo agoYes, my inference was "people consume caffeine, and if one group is getting it from coffee, the other group is getting it from non-coffee, mostly (highly-caloric) soda water, which explains why the coffee side looks healthier."
- nazgul17 2mo agoMakes sense, but I would hope the study design controlled for this, or designed around it.
- nemomarx 2mo agoYou can get corn syrup free monsters everywhere. Or those 5 hour ones, or Celsius or whatever. The reason to prefer coffee is that it tastes less aggressive than those I think
- BeetleB 2mo agoCoffee tastes more aggressive than all of those.
- KPGv2 2mo agoFor people who are already addicted to sugar, yes, coffee tastes more aggressive than the drinks full of insane amounts of sugar or artificial sweeteners. Meanwhile in Asia beans are considered sweet bc their food isn't overloaded with sugar.
- BeetleB 2mo agoIt sounds like you're equating "aggressive" with "sweet". Coffee has a very strong taste (even without sugar). Stronger than anything on the list. I'd wager that the reason some people add a lot of sugar is to make up for that strong taste. 5 hour energy drinks have almost no sugar. Much milder taste than coffee. > Meanwhile in Asia beans are considered sweet bc their food isn't overloaded with sugar. Red bean paste?
