  • Downvoted because you answer your own question in the body. Extreme inequality, amusement park for the elite, “it feels fake”, full of western expats immigrants who don’t want to pay taxes in their homeland, built on the back of the polluting oil industry and underpaid workers who have difficulty leaving the country.

    Of course it’s overrated! It should be despised way more than it is!



  • I’m very specifically talking about coffee and not caffeine. I completely acknowledge that caffeine is addictive and may cause mental and physical ailments for some people. But coffee contains more than just caffeine and from what I gather, the positive health effects sometimes seen from coffee stem from the non-caffeine parts. And apparently for the people in those studies, the positive effects of coffee outweigh the negatives from caffeine contained within (unless they used decaffeinated coffee?).

    Overall I haven’t really seen any evidence that coffee is

    harmful to the brain

    as you put it. And yes; I am not a biologist, so I use Wikipedia as a source for debates on the internet. I will trust my father who is a biologist and the newspaper articles written about scientific studies for lack of better on this specifik issue. If you know of better sources appropriate for my level of expertise please suggest one.

    I will suggest some changes

    This is great. If Wikipedia is wrong please correct it!

    Moreover, no doctor will ever recommend coffee to anyone with heart issue

    Maybe not, but most people also do not have heart issues. No doctor would probably recommend roller coasters to pregnant women either, but that does not mean that roller coasters in general are harmful.
