Coffee as a diuretic ? negligible.
Nutrition facts which seems to always change, presently it's about good micronutrients.

From reading of top runners and trainers , drinking coffee before training runs or after running is fine. Seems the water is enough to be beneficial.

I've googled ( https://www.healthline.com/nutrition...fits-of-coffee. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutriti...atures/coffee/. https://www.thatscoffee.com/scoop/dr...-coffee-beans/. https://www.webmd.com/diet/features/...-value-you-bet. )

Ok, you seem to have done more research than me (I've really done none as I drink just for preference w/o caring about health until recently). So the diuretic effect is negligible, as long as I drink a glass of water to counteract or it's negligible, period? I just remember reading something that kinda made a deal about that.

I wonder if the health benefits (can you cliff notes here?) outweigh the nagging withdrawal effects? It was a bit of a pita that day, I just skipped one time and got a mild headache/eye strain. Personally, I don't think it's worth it to keep being 'hooked' on caffeine unless you're saying it's as good as eating broccoli lol.
