Comment on Coffee drinking linked to longer life

Comments

I have a slow caffeine metabolism (SNP: rs762551) and according to some studies this may lead to me to develop heart disease if I drink too much caffeine.

The fact that I'm a minority and that fast metabolizers might actually benefit from caffeine says to me that going just on that article might not be a good idea.

A majority of people might benefit from caffeine, while a minority might have really dire consequences.

/edit this is all preliminary research so add more weight to "might" that I use here.
