Love coffee? No, I mean, do you love coffee? If you're a coffee addict, then take heart - it's not your fault: A new research shows that how much you crave caffeine largely depends on your genes.
New research suggests that individuals who carry a so-called "high-consumption" variation of either gene appear to drink more coffee, relative to those who carry a "low-consumption" variant.
"It's really an incredible story," said study co-author Dr. Neil Caporaso, branch chief of genetic epidemiology at the National Cancer Institute. "People don't really suspect it, but genetics plays a big role in a lot of behaviors, such as smoking and alcohol consumption. And now it turns out that it has a part in how much caffeine we drink."
Il caffè rimane una virtù italiana. La torrefazione fa si che il gusto sia eccellente ed il quantitativo di 4/5 dosi quotidiane non intacca minimamente lo stato salutare ne il benessere fisico.

Obviously not! I obviously needed coffee when I wrote that title :)

I love all this genome research. All my vices turn out to be caused by my genes. :D

4 to 5 per day, francobaldini? Doesn't sound that healthy to me.
