Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus is a probiotic gut bacteria that generates butyrate from soluble fiber.

Apparently, coffee enhances its growth, despite not having fiber.

I’m reminded of Dr.Kelso on “Scrubs”. “Coffee...puts a spring in your step and your ass on the can!”.

Three straight shots of espresso in the morning and the evening. Mmmm.

I mix in about 1 1/2 tsp. of inulin(a soluble fiber) with my coffee everyday.

[Does so]

The study didn’t exclude other hot beverages...

and the evening.

How in the world can you go to sleep???

If I do espresso in the afternoon, even, I can’t get to sleep that night...

Oh noes, coffee is bad again. I’ll wait for 6-8 weeks for the next one that says coffee good.

I think it means the opposite — that coffee is good. It wasn’t clear, though. I did pick out the word, “benefits”, in the article so now assume it’s good.

I drink a lot of coffee. Even before bedtime. I hope it’s good for me :-) because it would be hard to give up.

My aunt and uncle had a rule in their house: “The coffee pot is always on”. Everyone in their little town of 200 in rural Minnesota was welcome to stop by and have a cup. My uncle died young, at only 97. He died from complications from a broken rib, exacerbated by his diabetes. My aunt celebrated her 100th birthday a bit ago. Unfortunately, she didn’t make it to 101.

The research team acknowledges that they do not know what impact higher levels of L. asaccharolyticus may have on people, but suggest it is likely associated with health benefits that have been attributed to coffee drinking.

Coffee ‘good’ this week.................

[Jane Long]

Nope. Read the article :-)

Shirley you jest!

[Carriage Hill]

I drink Kona Hawaiian all day long.

My liver transplant doctor told me coffee, coffee, coffee.

Bet this mushroom would help too

One complaint I have about these kinds of studies is that they never indicate if they include decaffeinated coffee. I love coffee, but about 26 years ago I gave up caffeine almost entirely and switched to decaf. And I know others who drink primarily or exclusively decaf.

Nice! We drink the Starbucks Espresso Blend we buy at Costco.
