like, it's caffeine and water and brown, who cares. i drink diet soda so it's no calories, no sugar. versus the stereotype starbucks order, why is soda so demonized

the whole sort of basically woo stuff about oh there's antioxidants there which give you a 3% lower risk of skin cancer after the age of 65 like come on that doesn't count

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !coffee@lemmy.world

"Coffee in the Morning" is a cultural phenomenon. You can argue the relative merits of different beverages and times to drink them, but the status of coffee has nothing to do with nutrition or biochemistry.
