New link between coffee beans and human genes

(CNN) -- You can blame that third cup of Joe on your genes. A recent study has found six new genetic variants that could dictate the volume -- and frequency -- of a person's daily coffee consumption. Perfect your coffee pour-over The research was led by Marilyn Cornelis of the Harvard School of Public Health, and published on Tuesday by the journal Molecular Psychiatry. "Overall, we have known for a long time that there are some genetic components for our coffee-consuming behaviors," Cornelis told CNN. Researchers were able to identify six regions in human DNA that were not previously linked to coffee-drinking behavior, which could explain why one drinker will lie awake at night twitching after one cup while another can gulp down the whole pot before their REM cycle. The study analyzed data from several studies that polled more than 120,000 people on how much coffee they drink a day, then scanned their DNA.
