RE: Physiological and toxicological properties of Coffea arabica

Hello @lupafilotaxia,

Your pictures are beautiful, and your text very interesting. I love coffee...yes, an addict :) However, on a more serious note: I used to visit a profoundly disabled relative in a nursing home. Many of the residents there had been disabled from birth. If I visited at mealtime, I noticed all the residents (who could consume food by mouth) were given coffee at the end of the meal. I used to wonder at that, but perhaps this sentence helps to explain it:

...serves as a vehicle for strengthening social interaction, since drinking coffee is qualified as an event of social character, which helps to maintain a healthy coexistence and thus improves the mental health of people.

Thank you for another rich article. I hope you and your family are well.

Regards,
AG
