ICYMI - Coffee Doesn't Dehydrate You, Turns Out

New research suggests up to five cups of coffee a day may actually support heart health rather than work against it, and that's just the starting point for a full round of coffee myth busting. Anyone who has ever been told coffee dehydrates them, sobers them up, or that dark roast means more caffeine is about to have those assumptions corrected. The espresso versus drip coffee caffeine comparison alone is worth the listen, along with a clear explanation of why concentrated caffeine sources like energy drinks carry real risk while moderate coffee intake doesn't. It's a fast, myth-by-myth breakdown built for anyone who drinks coffee daily and has never questioned what they were told about it.
