I look around at my colleagues and see apparent misuse of the body. Carbs and fat for lunch every day, smoking, no exercise, sitting in a chair all day long, buckets of coffee, stress, poor posture and body alignment, doing the same shit every day, poor outlook on life, no sunshine on you during half of the year, etc. Of course this is going to wreck a person.

Yet no one seems to even be conscious of the wrongness of this.



Yup. Problem is poor health doesn't produce visibly harmful results right now, so it's hard for us to envision the long term effects.


Where is the evidence that dietary fat and coffee increase cancer risk?


It was just a remark on poor health in general.


Drinking lots of coffee likely doesn't increase cancer risk, but it can be an indicator of poor sleep habits.
