I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking.  You mean, if a cup of coffee on average is better for your health than avoiding coffee all together?
assistant
Yes. I've heard daily coffee is healthier, but caffeine can have a toxicity.
user
I don’t think I can answer this question. It’s a very difficult question, since there are so many factors that go into it.  Let me see if I can make some guesses.  On average, some people have shown that coffee consumption is protective against stroke, and caffeine can reduce the risk of diabetes.
assistant
Good to know, on the diabetes. Wonder why that is.
user
I can try to guess!  Caffeine is a mild diuretic, and there is some evidence that insulin sensitivity and resistance can be improved by caffeine.

Those sound like true statements. Although it seems to drain your adrenal glands, and cause you more irritability, after 3-4 hours past consumption.
