I just read a really interesting
article about the connection between you, your coffee habit, and DNA.
I didn’t drink coffee AT ALL until I moved to Seattle back in 2009. But hey, look at me now, I am a proud coffee addict and running a coffee website! I always wondered if I started drinking earlier then I would have liked coffee anyway? or Seattle and circumstance made me like coffee?

Researchers analyzed the results of more than 120,000 coffee drinkers and found 8 genetic variants; the identified 2 involved in caffeine metabolism, 2 that potentially play a role in the effects of caffeine, and 2 others involved with cholesterol level and blood sugar.
So… those people who have these gene variants can drink more coffee because their body can process caffeine more quickly.
So there you have it, it’s in my DNA, and I could not have avoided my fate to become a coffee addict. Thanks mom and dad for making me a coffee lover!
