Why do so many people love coffee?

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.

Certain genetic variations inherited from parents will affect the amount of coffee you can consume.

The study's lead author, Dr. Hayley Thorpe, currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, said: "We used this data to identify regions on the genome associated with how likely a person is to consume a lot or a little coffee, and then identified genes and biology that may influence coffee consumption."

The final analysis included data from the UK Biobank and data from the US DNA testing company 23andMe.

After conducting the analysis, the researchers found a clear link between genetic variations and coffee consumption.

Specifically, the results show that coffee consumption is influenced by genetics. In other words, certain gene variants inherited from parents will affect the amount of coffee you can consume.

This means that whether you like coffee and consume a lot of it is determined by your genes, according to Neuroscience News.

Additionally, researchers have found a link between genetic factors affecting coffee consumption and obesity and other addictions.
