Coffee, in its purest form—black, no sugar, no cream—has some benefits, but the idea that it's universally "healthy" ignores the massive variability in how people consume it. For many, coffee is a daily ritual laced with sugar, cream, and additives that turn it into a net negative. Even the "benefits" often cited—like antioxidants or improved focus—are overblown or context-dependent. The real issue isn't coffee itself, but the way it's consumed. And for a significant portion of the population, coffee isn't just unhealthy—it's harmful. So when someone says coffee is healthy, they're ignoring the reality for millions.
