This seems to jive better with our "common sense" than studies that do not adjust for genetic variables. Basically, if you can't sleep easily if you have coffee after noon, then you are a slow metabolizer and should be careful. <br /><br />I would love to see pregnancy studies that include this genetic variable.Keep An Open Mind, But Don't Let Your Brains Fall Out!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17324598570190007864noreply@blogger.com
