    Society drinks so much coffee because most are hypothyroid?

    Broda Barnes and Ray Peat said that at least 40% of people are hypothyroid. So they resort to caffeine to get the lost energy because of inadequate thyroid function? But IMHO improved energy from optimizing thyroid beats caffeine, with less side effects. They even boast about the 'health...
