Benefits were also recorded in non-caffeinated coffee, found to improve learning and memory

Regular consumption of coffee “significantly” boosts mood and improves concentration, while non-caffeinated coffee also has health benefits, according to a major new study that sheds new light on how the drink interacts with our minds and bodies.

Researchers at APC Microbiome Ireland, a world‑leading centre at University College Cork, found that both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee altered the gut microbiome in ways that improved perceived mood and stress levels – and, in some cases, sharpened cognitive performance.

The team said the research builds on previous breakthroughs in understanding the numerous positive effects coffee drinking is now associated with.

Man, we waste a lot of money researching coffee to make fucking obvious conclusions.

Sure if we are fine with where we are at, however if we want to make advancements across the board it’s more complicated.

These things still need to be confirmed , their underlying mechanisms studied, what causes them to activate in one way or another, identifying the most desirable effects, replicating in more efficient way. Pretty much doing this with everything on all fronts is where we are at with scientific advancements.

In this case: produce a caffeine like supplement for people that absolutely detest coffee or for some other reason can’t have caffeine directly

These studies have been taking money and making the same conclusions for 160 years. While we fund this shit, other important questions do not get studied. This research is the bottom of the barrel in science.

It's not just caffeine, there are many compounds in coffee extracts that increase blood flow, some lower blood serum cholesterol, some raise it. A casual PubMed search will find 4, 282 manuscripts since 1866.

As usual, ignore the downvote tantrums. Technically accurate is the best kind. Keep it up, please. 🤌🏼

Unoriginal well funded research slop is the welfare of the academic world. Grad students gotta eat ramen.
