RE: Coffee or Tea?

in #writing7 years ago (edited)

Interesting fun fact: Coffee is not only addicting because of the caffeine, but it is the only thing on earth that resembles the most essential food on earth, breast milk! No joke, it's fat to sugar ratio is almost as perfect as human breast milk. So there is something that happens in the brain that remembers that exact ratio! Add in the caffeine and it's almost irresistible. Great post Cheers! ☕

Sort:  

I like the sounds of this but it doesn't seem accurate. The fat content of breast milk is quite high. Unless a lot of creamer is added, coffee doesn't contain fat.

My mistake, you are right. I saw a Netflix special called Food the Delicious science where it talks about the cocoa bean and how chocolate most resembles the ratio to breast milk, not so much coffee, but it can get close to that ratio with added fats so you are absolutely correct.
