POPScaffeine in the diet The caffeine content of coffee depends on the type of coffee bean. Beans from the plant species robusta generally have more caffeine than those from the arabica species. Arabica beans generally produce a more full-bodied flavor. These beans are the ones likely to be found in gourmet coffee shops. The roasting and brewing of coffee also play a part. Contrary to popular belief, darker roasted beans actually have less caffeine. The heat literally roasts out the caffeine.

Forse per cercare di portare comunque avanti alla grande nel pensiero comune che gli OGM potrebbero risolvere tanti problemi (e non solo la loro ENORME utilità nel riempire i portafogli delle multinazionali che li commercializzano?)
