Summary
New research from APC Microbiome Ireland at University College Cork, published in Nature Communications, explores the mechanisms behind coffee's effects on the gut-brain axis. The study examined both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee's influence on the gut microbiome and how that affects mood and stress levels. Researchers studied 31 coffee drinkers and 31 non-coffee drinkers using psychological tests, diet tracking, and stool and urine samples, with participants abstaining from coffee for two weeks before being reintroduced to either caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee.
