Peter Rogers of the University of Bristol led the research on the influences of caffeine on people. It is not true that coffee drinkers are more alert than people who regularly do without. A new study suggests that a cup of coffee is merely defending against the loss of caffeine that a person loses at night. This study is much more significant and more beneficial than other studies, because previous studies had fewer people participating. During this research they took blood samples for genetic testing of 379 volunteers. These people gave up caffeine for 16 hours.
My opinion:
The title of this article grabbed my attention right away. I am not a real coffee addict, but I like to drink a cup of coffee a couple times a week. It’s surprising how many people participated in this research, and the results are quite outstanding. I didn’t expect that it is better to stick with coffee or caffeine for a whole week, then just drinking it during the week but not during the weekend. I think it makes sense, and it is a good thing to keep in mind if you drink a lot of caffeine.

Hello Patty,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenInteresting summary which caught my attention because, as you know, I am a coffee addict haha. I really like coffee, especially in the morning, but I think I drink too much of it. I also did not know that it is better to stick with coffee or caffeine for a whole week, quite interesting. Keep up the good work!
Regards,
Jasper
Hey Patty,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenQuite an interesting article... I had no idea that coffee might actually be some sort of placebo effect? I'm not really that much of a coffee addict but I do tend to drink a cup or two every now and then... I don't think it'll effect my usual habit of drinking coffee every now or then but I'll surely keep this in mind!
Keep up the good work!
