The genetic study shows links and potential health benefits for people with certain genes attributed to a faster coffee metabolism as a hereditary trait and potentially a better metabolism. It does not study or recommend drinking more coffee, which was not the purpose of this research. Most importantly, when considering coffee consumption and caffeine containing energy drinks, one must be mindful of the potential negative offset by surplus calories in form of sugar and fat in many of these drinks. Even for the option of increasing the use of calorie free caffeine drinks, a benefit has yet to be proven.
