What in your genetic makeup told you to cut down on caffeine? I'm a passionate coffee drinker, and have been sipping coffee the entire day since my teen years, so I'm interested in what you identified as a risk.

- krrrh 9y agoThere is a SNP that determines whether you are a slow or fast metabolizer of caffeine. Depending on your genes coffee consumption has been linked to breast cancer and heart attack rates. Mostly I always had assumed I was a fast metabolizer and could get away with drinking loads of coffee, and realized that I was pinning my metabolism and getting poor quality sleep. I was better off titrating down and finding alternatives. https://www.snpedia.com/index.php/Rs762551 https://www.snpedia.com/index.php/Rs762551 Even though 23andme doesn't present this information anymore, as noted elsewhere on this thread, there are other websites such as promethease, genetic genie, found my fitness, SNPedia, etc, which you can upload your raw data to. Some focus on specific topics.
