Why do so many people love coffee?
Research reveals that your love of coffee may be in your genes.
Are you a coffee lover? It might depend on your DNA, according to the research journal Neuroscience News.
Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world , with 60 to 85% of people in Europe and America drinking at least one cup a day.
Coffee drinking preferences are determined by genetic factors.
But coffee isn't for everyone, and many people can't tolerate its bitterness.
So why can't some people live without this delicious drink?
A new study, published in the scientific journal Neuropsychopharmacology , has found that in most cases, coffee drinking preference is determined by genetic factors.
The study, conducted jointly by scientists from the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at Western University in Ontario (Canada) and the University of California San Diego (USA), examined large amounts of genetic data, as well as coffee consumption reported by participants, to determine whether there was a clear link between DNA and coffee consumption.

Finding a way to eat that's 'more effective than medicine' for diabetes patients.
A new study, published in the medical journal Jama Network Open, has found a simple, easy-to-follow diet that is more effective than medication for diabetes patients.
Accordingly, the revolutionary "5:2 diet" of the late British doctor Michael Mosley may be a very good way for people with type 2 diabetes, as it has been shown to be more effective than medication in controlling the disease, according to the Daily Mail.
The 5:2 diet is a weight-loss diet that involves eating very little for two days a week and eating a balanced diet for the remaining five days.
The 5:2 diet is quite simple and easy to follow: Choose two non-consecutive days of the week to reduce your calorie intake to around 500-600 calories, and eat normally on the remaining five days.
The research team, led by scientists at Beijing Hospital in China, recruited more than 400 diabetic patients, divided into three groups.
The first group received the diabetes medication Metformin, the second group received the diabetes medication Empagliflozin, and the third group received no medication and only followed the 5:2 diet.
Group 3 will consume low-calorie meals two days a week, approximately 500 calories for women and 600 calories for men. On the remaining five days, they will choose their own breakfast and lunch but eat a low-calorie dinner. They will also be asked to track their calorie intake.

Hot weather causes bananas to ripen extremely quickly: Useful tips to keep bananas from spoiling quickly.
Bananas are one of the most perishable fruits, especially in hot weather.
Typically, bananas can be stored for 2-6 days after purchase. However, as soon as bananas reach their peak ripeness, they can begin to turn brown immediately, according to the New York Post.
The good news is that there are still some tips to help bananas last longer.
First, here are some things to keep in mind when storing bananas.
Bananas are one of the most perishable fruits, especially in hot weather.
- Avoid direct sunlight. High temperatures will cause bananas to ripen faster.
- Avoid apples and pears. These fruits also release ethylene gas (a gas released by fruits to ripen themselves), which causes bananas to ripen faster.
- Keep in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing bananas in enclosed spaces as this will trap ethylene gas, which accelerates the ripening process.
Here are some tips from experts on how to keep bananas fresh for longer...
