Genes dictate how much coffee you need
Click here for reuse options!New research has found people with a certain variation of a gene don’t need to consume as much coffee to get a caffeine hit – quelling their urge for more.
The gene in question is called PDSS2 – and the variation reduces the body’s ability to break down caffeine – causing it stay in a person’s system for longer.
Those without the variation metabolise caffeine more quickly and as a result, are more likely to have an extra cup each day.
