Manage episode 509814944 series 3635277
October 1st (yesterday) was International Coffee Day. In this episode, we trace coffee’s journey from ancient ritual to modern science. Once a sacred brew in Ethiopia and Yemen, coffee now fuels billions daily. In 2025, research is rewriting how we should drink it. In this episode, we uncover why timing intake, keeping coffee unsweetened, and using the right brewing method matter for long-term health. We also look at new data linking clean coffee to lower risk of chronic liver disease. Coffee is more than a morning habit. It’s a multi-molecule that may offer us a method and a blueprint for better well-being.
