I wonder if they took fast vs slow metabolizers into account. It seems to be healthy only with the fast metabolizers gene: https://drwillcole.com/caffeine-one-

If you’re a slow caffeine metabolizer:
1. Increased risk of high blood pressure (hypertension).
2. Increased risk of heart attack.
3. Higher chance of digestive disorders.
4. More stress and measurable cortisol spikes.
If you're a fast metobolizer:
1. Longer life.
2. Faster metabolism.
3. Better memory and mood.
4. Lower cancer risk.
5. Better blood sugar + insulin balance.
I'm most assuredly a slow metabolizer since caffeine makes me feel terrible.
- atorodius 8y agoI'm a bit confused by the linked article. The only link to a study I found was to [1] published Advances in Psychiatric Treatment. The other study quoted is for some specific effects the article mentions. Any idea where the link between CYP1A2 and caffein comes from?
