Coffee isn’t significant only because so many people drink it to start their day, said Steve Sanders, owner of Falls Coffee Co.

There are many other reasons it is significant, he asserted. For example, he said, coffee is a patriotic drink signifying freedom, as colonists switched to coffee and away from tea as a way to protest the British tea tax.

And in a Facebook post on the Falls Coffee Co. site, Sanders observed that in horror movies, the person drinking coffee never gets killed.

The goal of Falls Coffee Co., which opened Sept. 1 as an online business where customers can order roasted coffee, is “to incorporate the police and the community.”

As a law enforcement officer, Sanders wants to employ officers, donate a portion of the

A recent study found lower levels of caffeine in the blood of people with Parkinson’s disease. The study compared people with Parkinson’s who carry a particular genetic mutation known to increase Parkinson’s risk with people who carry the same mutation but do not have the disease.

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive brain disorder characterized by tremors, rigidity in the limbs and torso, and movement and balance problems. People with the condition also have an increased risk of depression and dementia.

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, more than 1 million people in North America and more than 4 million people worldwide have Parkinson’s disease. In the United States, about 60,000 people receive a diagnosis each year.

Around 15% of people with the disease have a family history of Parkinson’s, which suggests they inherited genes that increased their risk of developing the condition. However, most cases result from a

Caffeine may reduce the risk of Parkinson’s disease in people who have a gene mutation associated with the movement disorder, researchers report.

“These results are promising and encourage future research exploring caffeine and caffeine-related therapies to lessen the chance that people with this gene develop Parkinson’s,” said study author Dr. Grace Crotty, of Massachusetts General Hospital.

“It’s also possible that caffeine levels in the blood could be used as a biomarker to help identify which people with this gene will develop the disease, assuming caffeine levels remain relatively stable,” Crotty added in a news release from the journal Neurology.

The study was published online in the journal.

Previous studies have shown that caffeine may protect against Parkinson’s in people with no genetic risk factors. This new study focused on a mutation in the LRRK2 gene that increases the risk of Parkinson’s.

Not all people with this gene mutation develop Parkinson’s

The first Whole Foods Market opened up in 1980 in Austin, Texas.
Two years earlier, founder and CEO John Mackey launched a grocery store called Safer Way with a group of cofounders.
Safer Way didn’t stock meat, seafood, coffee, or any products with refined sugar. And consumers took a pass on the new health foods store.
“We stopped trying to remake the market and started trying to engage the market,” Mackey wrote in his new book “Conscious Leadership.”
Even after the pivot away from Safer Way, Whole Foods Market has continued to adapt and change over the decades.

Drinking too much coffee can cause insomnia, restlessness, or a fast heartbeat, especially if consumed too fast.
But most research on coffee consumption indicates that coffee is not bad for us and suggests even people who drink more than five or six cups a day seem to be far healthier than people who drink little or none.
Research suggests a regular coffee habit can reduce a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and diabetes.

Caffeine is the most commonly used psychoactive drug in the world — for good reason. It wakes us up, helps us stay on task, and provides an extra energy boost.

Most people in the Americas and Europe get a caffeine fix from coffee.

But people often worry that they should limit their coffee consumption or cut it out completely. That’s probably because coffee can feel like a crutch.

Many of my patients come to their first appointment with a clear “non-negotiable:” “I’m here to lose weight, gain energy, eat better, but I won’t give up bacon.” Bacon is big, followed by ice cream and coffee.

I never understand the coffee reference. Coffee is, in fact, an antioxidant powerhouse. It’s most likely the greatest source of antioxidants consumed globally — probably because as a daily habit, more people drink coffee than eat broccoli, but also because compounds in coffee called chlorogenic acids are pretty potent!

Of all the challenges that my patients experience, excess belly fat is the most common complaint. Perhaps it’s because it’s one of the hardest types of fat to lose. Good news: enjoying a few cups of coffee can help. A 2020 study found that women who consumed
