I’m here to tell you that coffee is very unhealthy for you. Everything is relative, of course, so it is undoubtedly healthier for your body than other energy drink alternatives. This post is written from the perspective that “some foods actually promote health while some endanger your health.” So healthiER might not be actually healthy (in the health increasing sense), just less toxic or dangerous than some alternatives.
