Coffee or (Green) tea

Which is healthier? Should I drink both? Also, has anyone else heard that it's bad to drink after or right before a meal because green tea can inhibit digestion of iron?

half of this thread is going to be retards telling you that drinking green tea will kill you
the other half is going to be retards telling you drinking coffee will kill you
if you have so much spare time that you start to ponder what type of hot drink you should have maybe you should instead consider taking a walk or reading a book

how is green tea dangerous? Asians guzzle that stuff and live forever

Tea only inhibits absorption of non-heme iron. If you eat meat you'll be fine. As far as health goes, drink whichever one you like the most. Either is a lot better than drinking soda or energy drink like all the retards on Jow Forums seem to do.

Green tea is gross. Black tea is better. Also literally just drink coffee. No more than 2 cups in a day though. 1 is ideal. No coffee past 6.

I studied it extensively and read all the articles I could find on pubmed and I have an extensive medical science background, the TLDR of it is, they've studied the hell out of coffee for years because of random claims it causes cancer or other diseases and there is not really any good evidence of it at all. It does not increase all cause mortality rate, it does not decrease life expectancy, it does not increase rates of any known form of cancer. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is a layperson who doesn't understand science.

Drink both

Both are vastly better than soda or some shit most normies drink so go for it.

Keep the coffee black and sugar free, maybe one sweetner.

I drink both without adding anything. Just str8 black and green tea. Have 20 oz coffee a day and 4 cups of green tea. Should I be worried about caffeine dependence?

Coffee isn't bad for you like some claim, but it's not some kind of health drink like others claim, so if drinking it causes any problems then it's probably better to not. I used to drink a lot of it, but it was causing a lot of problems due to excess caffeine consumptions, so I've cut down to two cups a day, which I only drink because I like the smell and taste and two cups is just enough for me to be able to enjoy it without feeling any effects. Same for tea, I guess. I'd say tea is "better" for you since it has less caffeine.

it's not. that's why Jow Forums will tell you it is

Green tea has been shown to lower testosterone in rats, not sure what the effects are on humans. Maybe tea is the reason China and Japan didn't turn into another Africa.

i know but I thought green tea wasn't too bad. maybe I need to cut back on the coffee tho

Green tea has the equivalent of 50% of coffee's caffeine, you'd be blowing it from the green tea alone.

It is a health drink actually. The caffeine in it is undoubtedly unhealthy, but apart from that it's PACKED full of antioxidants.

They're both bad, both contain anti nutrients that block absorption of things your body needs, both pointlessly give your kidneys more shit to filter and develop stones with, both create a dependency you don't need.

Take the water pill.

Antioxidants are one of the biggest meme in all of health.
Virtually none of them you orally ingest will survive your stomach and gut to actually enter the blood stream, they won't make it into the cell where free radicals exist and actually need to be eliminated. Even if 1 out of every 100,000 made it into your blood stream, direct antioxidants eliminate free radicals with a 1:1 ratio, one molecule eliminates one free radical.

Your body naturally produces enzymes like SAT, one of which can eliminate 1,000,000 free radicals, and it actually exists inside of the cells where it gets put to use.

Antioxidants are meme. Foods with antioxidants are a meme which aren't going to have any positive impact on your health whatsoever. Nothing you eat is actually going to eliminate free radicals better than your body does naturally through its own enzyme production. Its literally a health food scam with no research to support whatsoever. The only studies involving things like chocolate and coffee show low correlation with no concrete mechanism of action.
Literally nothing but marketing to make retards buy meme foods like goii berries or acai.

the iron thing is true but why would you drink it like that anyway? Not to mention that not every meal will contain much iron to digest.

In terms of caffeine they have different curves in digestion:
coffee = short big spike
tea = lower long lasting effect

Considering many males develop iron overload, a tiny reduction in iron absorption from Green tea doesn't really matter for people eating a normal, meat rich diet

Drink whatever you want
it really doesn't fucking matter

Personally I like a coffee in the morning, then an oolong at lunch time
