Recent studies have found that habitual coffee drinking actually affects our DNA. But how exactly? Well, it's complicated.

Non-additive genome-wide association scan reveals a new gene associated with habitual coffee consumption
"Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages worldwide and one of the primary sources of caffeine intake. Given its important health and economic impact, the underlying genetics of its consumption has been widely studied. Despite these efforts, much has still to be uncovered."

Your coffee habit could be encoded in your DNA
"And now scientists might finally have a way to explain your relationship with coffee, finding that genetic variations that affect how the body breaks down caffeine could be responsible for influencing us to drink more or less of this stimulating beverage."

How does caffeine affect the body?
"Caffeine--the drug that gives coffee and cola its kick--has a number of physiological effects. At the cellular level, caffeine blocks the action of a chemical called phosphodiesterase (PDE). Inside cells, PDE normally breaks down the second chemical messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)."

Screw it. Science has proven that no matter what I do I will not live forever. So please excuse me as I've got to go pour myself another cup of coffee now! Life is short. Enjoy what you can, while you can!

Trace is the best host. I love learning science from him. The tone in his voice is just right, not too high and not too low. I could listen for hours without getting annoyed. Not many people have voices like that.

My Mom used to do her "magic coffee trick" in the morning when she'd go from "WHERE'S MY COFFEE DAMMIT!!!" to "Good morning kids :-)" in less than 24 ounces. Amazing transformation!

Truth is coffee is just another type of drug. Just don't consume it if you're worried.

I don't drink coffee because I don't want to be reliant on it to function normally then run out.

What is Ketamine exactly, how is it different from morphine. Medics use it instead of morphine to make the person not care about the pain?? How does it effect the brain?
