According to a report in Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po on October 9, a study published by the Harvard School of Public Health in the journal Molecular Psychiatry the day before yesterday shows that there is a "caffeine gene" in the human body that controls the body's response to caffeine, which also reveals why some people drink coffee refreshing, while others do not feel awake.

The study used data including respondents' daily coffee consumption and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis to explore the small differences in coffee consumption on DNA. To the researchers' shock, there were eight groups of changes in DNA after drinking coffee, of which two were known and the other six were new, of which four were directly related to caffeine and the remaining two were related to cholesterol levels and blood sugar.

Therefore, these four groups of genes in the human body react directly with caffeine to determine the body's ability to break down caffeine or enhance its effect, or to help doctors recommend the amount of caffeine consumed by patients.
