On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

Coffee is basically "PG-13 cocaine" — the world's most socially acceptable drug addiction. • It doesn't give you energy; it just gaslights your brain into ignoring how exhausted you really are. Your morning cup requires 36 gallons of water to produce and contributes to massive deforestation. • Coffee is "the ExxonMobil of beverages" — environmentally brutal at industrial scale. The coffee industry exploits workers through child labor and modern slavery • , even at major brands like Starbucks and Nespresso. Your $6 latte has some dark supply chain secrets. Health effects are a mixed bag — potential liver benefits vs. stomach lining damage, anxiety spikes, and sleep disruption. • Corporate-funded research makes the science murky at best. Take control: • Research your coffee brands, ask baristas about bean sourcing, support certified ethical suppliers, or try the radical alternative — eat an apple and take a nap instead!
