I love my caffeine. But caffeine is an addictive, highly profitable substance. So advertising it and trying to promote it as somehow having real health benefits is widespread.
I would not be surprised if routine consumption of caffeine was at least mildly detrimental to health.
I think some drugs have managed to gain a special place in our society . Advertising and lobbying warps our perception of these drugs.
I even saw a comment in this thread suggesting that if caffeine has a prolonged affect on you, then you have some unique genetics and it's essentially your problem, not the drug. Similar to the narrative about alcohol. It's interesting to compare that attitude to the way illegal drugs that can't advertise or lobby are viewed.
