Coffee is certainly good for the people (not to mention the cat) around me. Without coffee available, they could be in real danger every morning.

best one I’ve ever heard about coffee is very true in my case...”IF you don’t believe the dead can come back to life just be around any coffee maker in the morning”.

Does he EVER say if there are racial/tribal/ethnic correlations?

There has to be some co-determinates that extends beyond just “Momsy and Dada”.

“Science” is never so vacuous as when it fears to question fictions or flees from truths.

But what do I know and I do not feel strongly about it.

Yes, and No.

You could replace coffee with just about any normal food, drink, or activity and it would still be accurate.

I grew up in the Deep South in the 1950s. Had it not been for very strong coffee (all day long) and, later, AC, the South would have been a wasteland (and some say it still is).;-)

As an aside, pre-Civil War slave labor wasn't just important to the South because of slavery. It was black's ability to withstand the heat of summer and still work. And I think they did so without coffee breaks.

I have always contended that the Southern drawl is due to the oppressive heat. The heat slows everything down.

Caffeine and nicotine, life is good

Don’t need no fancy study to tell me that

Coffee is the only drink which harms my stomach.

Here is a TLDR version from Claude AI....

Here's a brief synopsis of the article with bullet points:

The article discusses research on the genetic influences on coffee consumption and its health implications:

• Genetic factors significantly influence coffee consumption habits.

• Researchers compared coffee consumption data from 23andMe and UK Biobank databases.

• Key findings:
- Coffee drinking is a heritable trait.
- Genetic associations were found between coffee consumption and various health outcomes.
- Positive genetic correlations were observed with obesity and substance use.
- Mixed results were found for psychiatric conditions, with differences between US and UK data.

• Challenges in data comparison:
- Discrepancies between US and UK datasets, especially for psychiatric conditions.
- Differences in survey questions and cultural coffee consumption habits.

• The study highlights:
- The complexity of genetic and environmental interactions in shaping coffee drinking habits.
- The need for caution when combining datasets from different populations.
- The importance of considering cultural and environmental factors alongside genetics.

• Future research is needed to better understand the relationships between genetics, environment, and substance use, including coffee consumption.

More proof...some humans have too much money and time on their hands....who cares!

Do you really care whether or not it is healthy for you?

not remotely

The coffee grown around the world goes back to a plant which grew in East Africa. Since all Homo sapiens are thought to descend from people living in East Africa, coffee should be good for us.

Americans were tea drinkers until 1773. Then Parliament put tacks in tea so Americans switched to coffee.
