Would you have any sources on that? I casually looked into that claim in the past and read that coffee is as strong a diuretic as pure water.
there's.... i believe there is enough anecdotal evidence to state with a reasonable confidence level that coffee makes you poop.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and state a theory I've been considering for a while that could explain these coffee health benefit results... The liquids I and everyone else consumes can be placed in two classes: pure water and everything else. When I'm not drinking pure water, my drink of choice is usually coffee, of which I drink about 3 cups a day. Now let's think of the alternative non water drinks out there.…
How big is a "cup" of coffee in this study?

What? I drink rather a lot of coffee and have never had that effect. I've never heard it from anyone else either. Is there any non-anecdotal evidence for this?

Haven't noticed any of the supposed side-effects doing so could cause. For a while, not eating for hours was also supposedly bad for you. Then fasting started to show benefits. It turns out traditional dietary advice might not be worth jack shit. https://www.coffeeandhealth.org/topic-overview/coffee-and-di... One study found a slight increase in acid reflux when drank on an empty stomach, a problem I don't have, othe…
Yes, intermittent fasting is said to be quite good for organisms. Maybe a form of hormesis. I'm unfortunately not in a position to comment much on caffeine's health effects aside from various interesting and likely true points of speculation but I find what you shared interesting and do not doubt for a second that medical science (including nutrition, and immunity) is not properly understood except by a rare handful…

Yeah, what I find weird is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coffee_chemicals More than a thousand chemical compounds in coffee, area of active research. Does this imply that we don't know much about coffee yet? And more anecdotally, what I find weird is that when I switch from coffee drinking to tea and soft drinks, there seems to be no amount of caffeine intake that make the withdrawal symptoms go away. F…
There are more than a thousand chemical compounds in anything you eat that came from nature.

Do you primarily drink iced, cold brewed, or something like keurig?
I only drink one cup per day and I only started when I was in my early 30s so I guess I'm not getting much out of it. Some people like me are very sensitive to caffeine. I wonder if we the jittery ones process caffeine slower and could that be a disadvantage. Acrylamide due to roasting isn't a great thing either. Hot liquid ingested every day may be a risk for throat cancer. https://www.cancer.org/latest-news/world-h…
Your link’s first paragraph states coffee is usually consumed at temperatures below the risk threshold. A couple paragraphs later is states that coffee has been removed from their list of beverages they’re worried about.
For me, I have to be careful drinking coffee because I have GERD if I drink too much coffee my throat spasms and at night I cough up stomach acid while asleep. It gets into my lungs and over time damages lung tissue.
Even for coffee roasters, the people near the coffee are at risk of lung damage from whatever roasting coffee emits. https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/investigations/2017/09/2...
