The association of tea or coffee consumption with gout is inconsistently reported. Few prospective studies have explored their dose-response relationship. Therefore, we aimed to quantitatively investigate the association between tea, coffee and the risk of developing gout. The study included 447 658 participants in the UK Biobank who were initially...

Type II topoisomerase (TOPII) is an enzyme that influences the topology of DNA. DNA breaks generated by TOPII may result in mutagenic or cytotoxic changes in cancer cells. In this study, we characterized interactions of TOPIIα with coffee extracts and individual chlorogenic acids (CHAs) from the extracts by performing isothermal titration calorimet...

Purpose This study examined the association between daily green tea and coffee consumption and body iron stores among Japanese middle-aged and older adults. Methods This cross-sectional study used data obtained from 2005 to 2007. A total of 10,435 participants were recruited for this study. The participants completed a validated, self-administered ...

The dietary composition has been approved to be strongly associated with the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), one of the most serious malignancies worldwide, through regulating the gut microbiota structure, thereby influencing the homeostasis of colonic epithelial cells by producing carcinogens, i.e., ammonia or antitumor metabolites, like butyrate...

Twenty agroforestry systems consisting of different management practices (conventional and organic) and shade types were set up for coffee plantations in 2,000 at the Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE), Turrialba, Costa Rica. The physical (density, bulk density, moisture content, and roasting loss) and chemical attri...
BACKGROUND: The effects of the environment and genotype in the coffee bean chemical composition were studied using 9 trials covering an altitudinal gradient (600-1100m.a.s.l) with 3 genotypes of Coffea arabica in the Northwest mountainous region of Vietnam. The impacts of the climatic conditions on bean physical characteristics and chemical composi...
The primer explores the challenges and opportunities faced by smallholder coffee farmers due to climate change impacts. It showcases diverse climate-smart and regenerative agricultural practices employed on small coffee farms and highlights the importance of incremental and anticipatory adaptation measures.
peer reviewed / The distinctive scent profile of food is influenced by volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, which also provide a distinctive fingerprint that may be used to assess the quality and authenticity of foods. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME), which combines the ease of use with a high enrichment factor, is by far the most used ...

Habitual coffee consumers justify their life choices by arguing that they become more alert and increase motor and cognitive performance and efficiency; however, these subjective impressions still do not have a neurobiological correlation. Using functional connectivity approaches to study resting-state fMRI data in a group of habitual coffee drinke...
