120 grams over 4 years.

That is, what, an ounce a year? Mindblowing shit.

I know the study isn't anything to get excited about, but preventing weight gain is itself a worthy goal. It's so easy for the weight to creep up on you.

If it's a significant amount less or "ungained" weight, then absolutely - I know the creeping weight well. But in this case, any semi-decent dump is going to outweigh the whole thing. It's the kind of weight difference you'd shrug off in one day, let alone over 1400+ days.

Yeah, I mean even if you put on that much weight in a year, it's negligible

But I wonder if coffee might help with that, like cutting cravings and so forth

Obviously there's nothing conclusive here

Truly it is. Trying to get that added weight back off when your over 40? Every miniscule advantage is appreciated.
