“Coffee is Bad for You” … or is that a Scam?

You’ve probably heard it before: “Coffee is bad for you.” Some say it keeps you up at night, makes you anxious, or hurts your health. But here’s the thing—most of those claims are overblown, outdated, or just plain marketing from industries that want to sell you something else instead.

The truth? Coffee, when enjoyed in moderation, has been linked to sharper focus, better moods, and even long-term health benefits. The “coffee is bad” narrative often leaves out the science that shows coffee can actually be good for your heart, your brain, and your social life.

So why call it bad? Because fear sells. Labeling coffee as unhealthy makes room for supplements, energy drinks, and other products to take its place. That’s the real scam.

At Coffee With Sands, we believe in cutting through the noise: coffee isn’t the villain. It’s the companion to conversations, creativity, and community.

So next time you hear “coffee is bad for you,” ask yourself—who’s really benefiting from that message?
