Cognitive Concepts

1/5

Framing Bias

The article presents a relatively balanced view of the evidence, but the focus on potential benefits might slightly outweigh the potential risks. The article's title, however, does not express explicit bias.

1/5

Language Bias

The language used is generally neutral and objective, avoiding overtly loaded terms. The article presents both positive and negative findings without significant emotional bias. However, the author does use the phrase "bad thing" with a very mild negative connotation.

2/5

Bias by Omission

The article presents both sides of the debate surrounding coffee's health effects, but it might have benefited from including additional research into negative impacts (besides pregnancy) or potential downsides for specific demographics, to offer a more complete picture.
