According to new genetic research, if you prefer your coffee black then you probably like dark, bitter chocolate too... and that could be a boost to your good health.
– According to new research identifying a genetic basis, if you prefer your coffee black then you probably like dark, bitter chocolate too.
But those benefits are likely to be more pronounced if the coffee is free of all of the milks, sugars and other fattening flavorings we tend to add. “People with the gene metabolize caffeine faster, so the stimulating effects wear off faster, and they need to drink more coffee,” she said. “Our interpretation is these people equate caffeine’s natural bitterness with a psycho-stimulation effect,” Cornelis said. “They learn to associate bitterness with caffeine and the boost they feel. We are seeing a learned effect.”“When they think of caffeine, they think of a bitter taste, so they also enjoy dark chocolate,” Cornelis said. “It’s possible these people are just very sensitive to the effects of caffeine and they also have that learned behavior with other bitter foods.
