  1. You’ve been scammed. The coffee industry is continually funding questionable studies to show that coffee makes you smarter, faster, younger, sexier, blah, blah, blah. If you don’t have the sense you check on funding of studies, then you will always be susceptible to being scammed. The caffeine alone in coffee, is an insidious drug that causes many health problems, not to mention other element in it.

      Of course the coffee industry is funding studies, not necessarily questionable. Or do you expect the garment industry to fund studies for coffee drinkers?
      Coffee has been enjoyed for centuries, with benefits for the consumer, in addition to simply making them feel good.
      I drink coffee with all its elements and don’t make spelling mistakes.:)

  2. Caffeine is okay. It’s my pal… but like anything else, don’t overdo it.
    Sure it’s a ‘drug’ but, you take your dose (or two) in the A.M. and then you’re good for the day.
    Zero health problems.
    And in fact, it is the other components in the beverage that can have a subtle health benefit!
    Micronutrients including vitamins, enzymes, fats, antioxidants, and even protein and some interesting natural sugars are in there, along with unique compounds just being identified and studied by these researchers.
    Anyway there are a LOT worse things you’ll observe humans drinking than coffee, heheh…

  3. If yu “cant stand” black coffee, you’re not drinking GOOD coffee. Make sure what you are drinking is FRESH… that is, roasted within a week of grinding and brewing. Stale coffee (and coffee roasted more than a week ago IS by definition stale) is harsh and bitter because the aromatic oils (flavour and aroma) have oxidised… turned rancid…. and those long chain organic acids are bitter, harsh, and cause all manner of internal problems. Their presence is the reason Charbux and their ilk use them…. the coffee is not tolerable without the “dairy” and sugar, which is where they make more profit than the coffee itself.
    Further, find LIGHT ROASTED coffee… if its black and/or oily, it is too darkly roasted,… again, harsh and bitter (the OTHER reason Charbux does this…. the dairy and sugar mask the bitterness of over-roasting. The surface of the beans should be dry, surface texture even, and the colour… no darker than a mild milk chocolate. You will find, when drinking coffee like this, that you can TASTE the coffee itself, it is not harsh, bitter, astringent, but rather smooth, sweet, floral and/or fruity. Yu will find it needs NO additives, which additives are the root of many ther health problems. It is almost never the coffee itself.. its the way its been mishandled (overroasted,stale) and the “junk” put into it to render it tolerable. AND, fresh light roast is less money by far then the stale, burned, additive laced stuff masquerading as coffee in most places.
