Your need for your Co-Go fix in the morning could be traced back to your genes, according to new research released this week.
As USA Today reports, scientists have identified two genes that decide your susceptibility to coffee. Essentially, depending on whether you carry a “high-consumption” variant or “low-consumption” variant of either gene determines just how fast or slow you metabolize caffeine, and thus, just how much Coffee it takes to get your motor kick started in the morning.
So next time you’re at the pod, blame your parents for your high consumption genes! But I guess it is something you can live with; the need for delicious coffee isn’t that bad of a gene trait.
