COFFEE CAN BREAK YOUR DNA ( 1 - 4 words)

So many studies say coffee is hurting you or coffee is helping you… everyone wants
something out of coffee, but all it wants to do is give! Howdy hot brown water (1)
............................. , Trace here for DNews. Scientists have again, and again, and again tried to
find out what coffee is doing to the human body.
A study in Scientific Reports lays out nicely, "coffee(2) ............................. has been linked
to protective effects on various common (3) ............................. such as(4) ............................. ,
hypertension, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, type 2 diabetes, some types of cancer, and
hearing (5) ............................., and it may(6) ............................. to others such as (7)

Scientists have been studying coffee since the 1960s, and a 1972 study in Cell's (8)
............................. tried to find out exactly what it was doing to our cells, noting (9)
............................. to broken DNA, and that if it's present during the formation of new DNA, it
can cause breaks in (10) ............................. (which is why we've long known (11)
............................. shouldn't consume it). We've also found that when DNA is broken by other
processes, caffeine can play with those broken pieces, keeping them DNA broke.
(12) ............................. , a study in March 2016's (13) ............................. & Food Research
found coffee drinking reduced (14) ............................. by about a third, and that reduction
continued for hours! So, coffee (or caffeine really) can break DNA, or keep it from being broken,
depending on when the coffee hits your DNA.
It's important to note, DNA breakage is not necessarily a bad thing; normal cell functions
can break it, but so can UV light, and certain chemicals, and (15) .............................. More
research be needed.
In the decades since we started looking into coffee and caffeine, study after study keeps
coming out talking about DNA… For example, a study in the European Journal of Nutrition
found (16) ............................. were somewhat less likely in those who drank (17)

A 2012 study in (18) ............................. found the DNA of people who exercised had (19)
............................. -- a specific type of chemical marker that occurs when DNA goes through a
chemical change.
(20) .............................! This shows exercise and coffee affect the DNA pretty
dynamically! Another pair of studies, one with Italians (who do love their caffé) and another in
the Netherlands (the Dutch drink 2.6-times more coffee than Americans), found people who drink
coffee pass their habit to their offspring, (21) ............................. associated with coffee drinkers!
Which is interesting, because a study in Scientific Reports found a (22) ............................. which
is associated with drinking fewer cups of coffee.
In a (23) ............................. using both (24) ............................., the identicals had (25)

the researchers there was a genetic component. But it's not just genetics… You can change your
DNA with your behaviors in life -- this is called (26) ............................. . A study in Biochimie
(27) ............................. that were chronic over-eaters, passed genetic markers to their offspring
which then had higher levels of (28) ............................. … so they were more likely to be
diabetic.Could this happen with coffee too? More research is needed again.
In my opinion, a lot of these studies have more to do with our love of coffee than the
magical powers of this beverage we happen to drink. Coffee drinking is really common.
According to the International Coffee Organization, over nine billion kilograms of coffee were
consumed in 2015-16. Most of the countries on our planet consume coffee, it's one of the most
consumed beverages anywhere (tea is the tops, of course), and is one of humanity's primary
sources of (29) .............................. And yet, it's super interesting that we still don't know a lot
about the epigenetics of coffee.
And remember, it's not just about coffee. All DNA is constantly affected by the food you
eat. DNA is created, copied and created throughout your life -- so you are (30) .............................
what you eat! So next time you're having a java, think about your kids. Because what's happening
to them? Who knows! More research is needed and (31) .............................. Also I need a coffee.

Is there a monster inside of you? You should watch the show of that same name on Animal Planet
