Today we're going to talk about coffee, one of many people's favorite superfood. But is it really that super? The reason I'm actually talking about this, I've had multiple patients ask me over the last couple of weeks about coffee and other superfoods controversies. Is it good for you? Is it bad for you? All these kind of things. And so we're going to dive into that a little bit. The concept of a superfood, they apply across all of these different things, the things that are supposed to have super high nutrient value for your health, that, that sometimes if done the right way can be really beneficial and if done the wrong way can be detrimental. That's the general concept I want to talk about while we talk about coffee, which is my personal favorite superfood. So there's some controversy behind coffee. Good for you? Is it bad for you? What makes it good? What makes it bad.
