Is it possible that the appetite-suppressing effects of coffee are at play here? I’ve read about the general health benefits of reducing calories and I wonder how big a factor that is in caffeine/coffee studies.
For many people including me, coffee consumption throughout the day reduces the appetite a lot. Two cups of coffee and my food consumption might be 25 per cent lower.
That said, this effect may be balanced out by all the people who just must have a cake with their coffee and who sweeten their coffee with sugar.
Also, none of the booze lovers I know drink coffee much. As if the beverages were somehow incompatible. This will show on the liver side as well.
Cocaine has a similar appetite suppressant effect. I wonder if anyone has looked at the long term health of models (where use is, apparently, common) to see if there are benefits.
