After the country’s health officials released new guidance that having over two drinks a week can be a health detriment, now research from the University of Toronto says heavy coffee consumption is cause for concern as well.
“These findings suggest that heavy coffee intake is associated with increases in the risk of kidney dysfunction among slow metabolizers of caffeine, who genetically comprise approximately half of the population,” an excerpt from the data read, adding that illnesses like hypertension could emerge.
“We made a discovery back in 2006 with a case control study, where we showed that coffee increases the risk of a heart attack, but only in those who have a particular version of a gene that makes them effectively slow metabolizers of caffeine,” Ahmed El-Sohemy, a professor of nutritional sciences at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto, told the Toronto Star.

Or heaven forbid...Poutine?!?!?
I don’t think China is this communist.
On the other hand, painting your face brown for Halloween is perfectly fine.
I see the Tim Horton Liberation Army forming any day.

Observation: this recent claim is gonna go no where and the above being funny helps to explain why.
But the pot is just fine....mmmmmm.
All hail the mighty bong..!

I’m in good shape if that’s the case. 😁
Even if they were right, leave me alone.
I am willing to trade a shorter lifespan in order to do what I want.
Take my freedom of speech, throw me in jail for unlawful assembly, plunder my wallet, deny me a job, health care, and the right to vote...but take my coffee and you DIE! Don’t even start me on chocolate...
Super - just think, in a couple of years or less, with digital currency, the Totalitarian State can simply write a rule into the currency database: Limit, 2 per person per week. Done. Coffee limit 1 per day per person.
Beef limit per person 0. Digital currency will be fantastic. Imagine all the “general good” that the government can do with digital currency to “protect” us!
Hold my beer, I’ll check this claim of cancelling booze ...
EPIC FAIL
