It is the genes stupid!!
Doesn't it drive you crazy when you read an article saying coffee, chocolate, vitamin E, ginkgo (or whatever) is good for you and then the next day you read it is bad for you! It happens all the time.
One of the things I say in my book, Wellness Piece by Piece is that our genes are one of the major factors involved in our health puzzles.
This study showed why we often read coffee is good for us and then the next week it is evil. It is the genes stupid! This study shows that your genes determine how well you detoxify caffeine. Some people get rid of it very fast. Some very slow. Those that are slow have a much higher chance of dying from a heart attack.
Mercury has the same problem and that is why there is such controversy over it. Some people detoxify it rapidly and some don't. NO ONE should be exposed to mercury unnecessarily like from their dental fillings which are usually 50% mercury. But some people can have those fillings and it does not bother them. Others get sick and don't know why. It is the genes.
The gene for mercury is called APOe. I have the 2nd worst combination of that gene pair. It is why I had lots of trouble with mercury and why I got better when I had my fillings replaced with non toxic material.
For coffee, now all we need is a simple genetic test to tell you if you have the CYP1A2*1F gene. Entrepreneurs, here is an opportunity!
