Coffee a 'miracle' drink with many health benefits, experts say

When I read or hear "experts say" I automatically question why these people are considered experts, who is saying that they are experts, and if what they are saying has an ulterior motive behind it such as a conflict of interest or profit driven media narrative, etc

 

The “experts” are going by studies funded by Nestle and Smuckers who owns Foldgers coffee

 

This is standard practice with these mega conglomerate corporations that tend to be comprised of the producers of pharmaceuticals, food products, so-called medical expertise. These studies that they self-produce get pedaled to people in the government to include our elected officials as well as major media outlets like Fox News, cnn, nbc, etc sell that their phony narratives can be further instilled within the public consciousness.

 

did you even read the article?

it states who and what the experts are.

like this guy;
"The Mediterranean diet is, primarily, a plant-based diet, and coffee is a plant-based drink," Stephen Safe, a researcher with expertise in cancer prevention, said in a phone interview.

"If you compare the benefits of coffee to those of the Mediterranean diet, you could hardly tell the difference between them," said Safe, a distinguished professor of biochemistry and biophysics at Texas A&M University in College Station.
or;
said Cornelis, an associate professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.

 

Nope, can't drink coffee, tastes horrible, could care less about anything it could do for my "health" both my son and wife are coffee drinkers and I can't stand the stuff. I usually go no caffeine, find I am better off throughout the day without it. Drink water and that is mostly it, when I am on the road. All the push for plant based diets is pretty messed up also, getting people to believe that a 100% processed food diet is better for you than anything else.

 

Did you read my former comment about the usage of the phrase, "experts say?"

Here's a great historical example from 2003: "Experts say Saddam Hussein is preparing to use nuclear weapon on United States soil."

We could really go down the rabbit hole if you want to talk about what happened in years such as 2016 or 2020 and beyond when it comes to what " experts say."

 

Just going to leave this here as an example of this type of thing people have forgotten. As a general rule when the government or some mega corp funded study finds "X makes you healthier!" I tend to be skeptical at best. And no i am not compareing coffee to smokeing, just using a well known example from our past that is well known to be BS.

Oh and also

‘The situation has become appalling’: fake scientific papers push research credibility to crisis point

Remimber take any study promoting or putting down something with a grain of salt nowadays. Dont disregard them out of hand....but look into who was doing the research, who they did it for, who did it, and who paid for it before you belive anything.

 

Yep exactly , seems to be that experts (?) always give expert advice about something that yesterday nobody gave a hoot about .

 

Cigarettes are bad , still smokem though. Thought it was funny about lucky strikes though , thats my go to brand .

 

Lucky menthols with the filter snipped for me for quite a while hence why i used it lol. I did stop though mostly. Though in extreme stress i keep an emergency pack in my freezer. Last time i broke into it was when that honda ran a red and that mom got out with that baby. Cigars are my thing anymore.

That said back on topic, i still hate coffee. It makes me need to pee like a racehorse all day, leaves my stomach unsettled and i feel ill for hours afterwards. And this is coming from the guy who enjoys pickled carolina reapers as a snack.
