Although
When people say "it's bad cause it's chemical"
I just laugh, it's such terrible reasoning
The human body is mostly chemicals
There is a threshold, don't get me wrong
Like our entire digestive system wouldn't even work without chemicals
Our brains even
Imo just make drugs sound really lame and "uncool", that seems like a good deterrent
All systems that developed over millions of years to form a careful balance with nature.
Now if I take a drug like Meth, with- who knows how many compounds, versus, weed...
Right
I buy meth off the street, I have a general idea of what is already in it, INCLUDING any additional "surprises" the cooks might have in it, same with with, but if I buy weed off the street, I reduce those chances, just as if I cook or grow either of these drugs myself.
*weed
Eliminate for variable X as much as possible, find the baseline, reduce the control to least destructive, you form an argument to say what is or is not more harmful.
I'd say corn syrup is more addictive than weed.
But you have to control for accessibility and how pervasive it is
Oh hell yeah sugar is probably the most destructive drug in the west
Cancer rates far higher than they need to be
And many other diseases ofc
But hey
"Those crackheads, ruining their lives" says dad, as he poors sugar into his 6th coffee of the day
I never understood dudes that needed that much.
Maybe had a previous reliance on cocaine in the past? No idea.
Coffee is a pretty horrible drug because it's not being talked about as potentially dangerous
People drink these things like they're nothing, not giving a thought, and I mean, it's not like I don't understand them, but seriously
Lack of education smh
I don't even wanna know how many things I have in my diet that I should still cut out
Well, to be fair, could be one day the scientists will suddenly realize something that was thought to be healthy is now a cause of X problem.
As is that has never happened...<:thinkcide:462282415549841409>
With education SOMETIMES on shaky grounds, media A LOT of times on shaky grounds, a bit of doubt is healthy.
There is a reason why critical thought is a first year general in many universities, shame so many students throw it out the window and follow other professors as a damn prophet.
Maybe that's the reason the coffee epidemic is not being talked about
Cause scientists abuse it themselves ofc
It is certainly conducive to keeping people productive...
Soft drinks have been a target, but I promise coffee will be protected for a while longer
Coffee is not really helpful actually
It brings the overall performance down
Thats why you drink it 6 times a day
But you don't notice that effect, and if you did, only after about 1-2 weeks
No what I'm saying is, even 6 coffees don't raise your performance
