Michael Pollan said on Rogan's podcast a while back that coffee drinking is the only socially accepted addiction, and I largely agree. People tend to try to justify their addictions and biases and so I tend to assume that studies that say coffee is healthy are a product of wishful thinking. That is not to say that it's bad - just that, after reading various studies and hearing many people out, I'm unconvinced that it's good for health. It does seem to be good for work productivity though - probably due to its nature as a stimulant.

The addictive part IS the caffeine. But he just said that the positive effect on gut health most likely ISNT related to it containing caffeine.
