It’s good, it’s bad, it’s good, it’s bad, it’s…

Fuck it, life is better with coffee, and fruit.

Nothing is 100% good or 100% bad. Even oxygen has problems that are caused in the body.

Coffee, like many things, can cause some health issues, but also some health benefits.

The problem is that the headlines only talk about this specific effect studied. When you get down the details, it's a lot less clear cut then "drink coffee = live longer" or "drink coffee = die younger"

This is why I hate science reporting in the media.

[–] demonsword@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

life is better with coffee

enjoy while you can, because climate change is ruining this too

10 bucks says the studies were paid for by coffee and fruit industries.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I came here to say 'study sponsored by Starbucks'

Which I'd bet 90% of the drinks they sell to people are less than a splash of coffee with 15 pumps of caramel and milk. It's like a splash of coffee for color like coke in a Long Island Iced tea.

They were funded by one and found success in another.

They would have made sense if one worked and they were funded by the same industry

Would have made sense if they simply found success in their results and published them

They said that it works when combining coffee and fruit. Which one paid for it? Both would have told the other industry to pay for the study. It's definitely only coffee or "fruit".

One was actually meaningful. Guessing fruit was actually beneficial and coffee paid the bill but it's definitely a red flag to include both in the finding. Either coffee is good and fruit is meaningless, or the other way around.

Tbh, "fruit" is such a large category that there's no way they studied every fruit. They "studied coffee" and added "fruit" so they could post a benefit. I love coffee but this study is bullshit.

it blows my mind how many people don't eat any fruit or veg at all.

Based on my fruit and coffintake, I’m living forever. Ignore the alcohol.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I don't know if that's a typo or not. But I like it.

[–] Astronut@lemmy.zip 17 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I drink coffee and eat fruit every morning. I’ll let yall know if I die early on account of it!

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 11 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Must be the coffee and fruit shutting my brain down already. I didn’t even catch that. Now I gotta live longer accidentally doing the right thing!

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

gotta add 2 shots of whiskey and 3 cigs to complete that breakfast.

[–] ignoble_stigmas@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How about substituting fruit with a cigarette?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think that's called a Continental Breakfast.

[–] TobJEnd@feddit.org 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Don't mind if I do

Key and Peele - continental breakfast

Can anyone find the study?

[–] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

As far as I can tell it's not yet published. Why on earth would this be reported if it hasn't made it through the publishing process? Lol

Here is a reaction to the findings that were presented at the conference mentioned in the op article.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

because it makes for good click bait

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Too bad coffee tastes like trash to this guy.

Guess I'll die.

I do often eat some fruit, though.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

I'd rather take years off my life than having to suffer every day by drinking coffee.

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Yep, you'll die if you're not addicted to caffeine

What about a strawberry flavored monster??? Is that the same or...?

[–] partofthevoice@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

What about 2-3 STOK Cappuccino 48oz bottles a day, and a Bang to help me calm down after?
