Why do some people drink coffee, such as drinking water, while others have insomnia and palpitations?
Do you drink coffee? "
"No, I can't sleep if I drink so late."
"No, drinking coffee can cause palpitations!"
This is probably the most common saying for non-coffee drinkers, because strange things that happen to coffee drinkers are also common, such as "the man fainted after drinking four bags of instant coffee in eight hours and still had sleepless nights after a month." But also drink coffee, why the reaction in different people is so different?

Why does someone drink coffee like "drinking boiled water"?
Caffeine is an alkaloid compound and a central nervous stimulant that can block drowsiness, excite spirit and enhance vitality in a short period of time. But in different people, the reaction is different. Take coffee, for example, some people are so sensitive that drinking a little can work, while others drink like plain boiled water.
To find out, Nicola Pilatu of the University of Edinburgh in the UK and his team conducted genome-wide association analysis in two Italian populations. One group has 370 people from a small village in southern Italy, and the other group has 843 people from six villages in northeastern Italy. In the study, the researchers asked Italian subjects how much coffee they consumed each day and repeated the experiment on 1731 independent subjects from the Netherlands.
They found that the expression of a gene called PDSS2 was negatively correlated with coffee consumption. If the protein level of PDSS2 gene is high, the expression of genes related to caffeine metabolic pathway will be inhibited, thus hindering the degradation of caffeine.
The researchers said the new study identified the PDSS2 gene and linked it to coffee consumption, but further research and a larger number of subjects were needed to confirm the results.

What is a "panic" when drinking coffee?
Some people will feel flustered and pounding after drinking coffee, which is commonly known as palpitations. In fact, this is a more subjective discourse, which may be caused by many physiological changes, such as early atrial contraction, early ventricular contraction, tachycardia and so on, while normal early cardiac contraction has been confirmed by many studies. It is related to the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease.
So does drinking coffee or caffeine cause palpitations? In fact, some studies hold opposing views!
In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 22 patients with ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation monitored their electrocardiograms an hour before and after ingesting 275mg caffeine (the equivalent of 1 cup of coffee) and found that caffeine did not induce or aggravate arrhythmias.
In another study, 50 patients with arrhythmias were divided into two groups, one group drank decaffeinated coffee and the other group drank 200mg caffeinated coffee (plus caffeine for decaffeinated coffee) and monitored for 3 hours. There was no difference in palpitation between the two groups.
Therefore, whether you really have an abnormal heartbeat after drinking coffee, it is more reliable to trust your sensory judgment and give it to a professional to diagnose.

Within 10 years, China will become the third largest coffee consumer market.
Coffee is an international commodity second only to crude oil, while the quality of Yunnan coffee beans, which accounts for 99% of China's coffee production, is comparable to that of high-quality coffee produced at high elevations in Central America. As Yunnan, which has excellent raw materials, the sales of coffee are not satisfactory. Looking at China, there are few local brands, and the output and sales of coffee in China are similar to those in the main coffee producing areas and major coffee producing areas in the world.
