But is the evidence sufficient to refute the null hypothesis, that coffee had no effect on the American civil war? Since the 19th century is behind us, randomized controlled trials is of course impossible, but there may be other evidence. Did Union regiments low on coffee supply fight worse than those with enough coffee?
Afaik, while coffee has been drunk for thousands of years, there is zero evidence of long-term cognitive benefits of coffee.
- darby_nine 2y agoIdk about cognitive benefits (seems hard enough to measure that it doesn't even matter), but physiological benefits are well-documented. I don't understand what this has to do with the topic at hand, though. Presumably coffee was used as a mild stimulant and a large morale booster, not some nootropic bullshit
