That is not new, caffeine is an analog of ATP and known to affect serum cholesterol levels in the liver. Welcome to 1996.

Epidemiology is a fucking joke. We waste millions on studies making the same observations over and over then the media treats this like it's profound and new.

How many studies do we need to show obesity makes every disease worse or more prevalent?

How the fuck did they even control this study? Most people consume caffeine in one way or another. The one exception is Mormons, who actually have less disease than the typical population so this 💩 can seriously fuck off and stop wasting money.
