I find it scary that I’ve never had a doctor bring any part of this up

That's probably because it's massively overblown. Drinking just a few cups of coffee a day is perfectly fine. Energy drinks are the devil's urine tho.

It's one of those things where its a very normal slow death over the course of decades, less harmful than smoking or alcohol, so it often gets brushed off as low priority. The real issue isn't even coffee, imo, but people who take 400mg caffeine energy drinks daily or even multiple times per day.
