If you love black coffee, black tea, and dark chocolate, then according to new research your hobbies are genetic. Caffeine researcher Marilyn Cornelis says that while some people consume black coffee daily, some people do not like it at all.
People who are fond of bitter tea, coffee, and chocolate have a kind of gene, due to which they are drawn towards these things again and again. According to research published in Nature Scientific Reports, the choice of bitter food items does not depend on the preferences of people, but on one of their genes. People born with this gene have their brains alerted to bitter tastes. Due to this, they repeatedly consumes black tea, black coffee, and dark chocolate.
Most people associate bitterness with caffeine, so they drink more black coffee than milk coffee. Since chocolate does contain a little caffeine, the same concept applies to dark chocolate. However, experts say that dark chocolate contains more than caffeine, a chemical called theobromine, which if consumed in high amounts increases the heartbeat and also spoils the mood. According to the research, further research may also reveal that people who are genetically more likely to consume coffee are more healthy than others.
It is better to drink milk and sugar than to add milk and sugar to coffee or tea. Since these things are plant-based, they should be consumed in their natural form. This reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart diseases, and many types of cancer.
Although dark chocolate contains a lot of calories, taking one bite of it daily keeps your heart healthy. This is because dark chocolate is made from cocoa, which contains antioxidants. These antioxidants keep the blood flow well in the body.
Stay healthy, stay safe...
