“IF you don’t believe the dead can come back to life just be around any coffee maker in the morning” applies. personally, I drink coffee for the safety of those around me.

I don’t. Some days I drink a few sips if I eat breakfast, which I only do two or three times a week. I never acquired a taste for it. I also don’t care for any other bitter foods. Apparently, many people don’t taste bitter foods the same. Maybe they don’t even think coffee is bitter. Kk
“Everyone inherits two copies of a taste gene called TAS2R38. It encodes for a protein in the taste receptors on the tongue which allows us to taste bitterness.
People who inherit two copies of a variant of the gene TAS2R38, called AVI, are not sensitive to bitter tastes from certain chemicals. Those with one copy of AVI and another called PAV perceive bitter tastes of these chemicals, but not to such an extreme degree as individuals with two copies of PAV, often called “super-tasters”, who find the same foods exceptionally bitter.”

My cardiologist would opine that these results are probably due to the evil coffee killing off the hypertensives before the are old enough for dementia to set in...

On our bi-annual visits to him, my wife (86) and I (a 90-year-old hypertensive) look him in the eye and say “coffee bad” and then go home and have our usual 4-5 cups a day...
