      is scientifically proven

      Sorry, what?

      At what doses?

      Yeah if someone’s self-medicating with like 18 cups of coffee per day they’re gonna have a bad time, but like 2 cups shouldn’t wreck somebody. I feel like this needs more specificity.

      (Although more than 4 cups per day will start leeching calcium from your bones, so watch out for that)
