Fair point. I'm comparing myself to the people who say they have 4 or 5 cups a day... My coffee drinking habit is fairly tame in comparison. But I can't disagree with your point of view either.

Exactly what I was going to say.

Moderation doesn't just mean you should have 100-200g of something every day.

The effects on your body from a daily dose of 200g of broccoli vs 200g of fish vs 200g/ml of Coke vs 200g of sugar vs 200g/ml of whisky are going to be very different.

Doctors used to (still do) say that 1 glass of wine a day is fine, and that is considered "moderation" but others now say that you should probably drink alcohol at most once a week to give your liver time to recover and heal completely, because alcohol is toxic. So basically no amounts are really "fine" or should be considered as "moderation". But at least if you give it time to heal that may just work - but still not ideal for your body.

And another article giving some examples for why "everything in moderation" is a bad idea:

I have been wondering about this for a while about coffee and energy drinks as well. Is one a day already addiction? I have a co-worker who has a Red Bull every day and he pointed to an article that said, one per day is fine. To me it seemed way too much. Maybe moderation is once a week?
