- spa3thyb 4y agoAlmost like cropping tables from a study isn't a sharp way to present data... From https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8467199/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8467199/ > Simonin et al. [72] assessed caffeine consumption in 80 patients with HD and it turned out that among people who consumed a caffeine dose greater than 190 mg per day, the risk of earlier HD was higher. [As parent referenced] > Tanner et al. [79], based on their study results, concluded that only caffeinated soda, but not other caffeinated beverages, was associated with Huntington’s disease risk, nor was a combined caffeine dose associated, but this finding may be spurious, or not related to caffeine.
