Your genome may have something to do with caffeine’s long-term effectis. According to 23andMe, I have a variant of the marker rs762551 which supposedly makes me a “fast caffeine metabolizer.” Apparently the alleles for slow caffeine metabolism can increase your heart attack risk from drinking coffee.

Coffee, CYP1A2 genotype, and risk of myocardial infarction.
