Study finds coffee inhibits SARS-CoV-2

cellandbioscience.biomedcentral.com Coffee as a dietary strategy to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection - Cell & Bioscience

Background To date, most countries lifted the restriction requirement and coexisted with SARS-CoV-2. Thus, dietary behavior for preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection becomes an interesting issue on a daily basis. Coffee consumption is connected with reduced COVID-19 risk and correlated to COVID-19 severit...

This study verified moderate coffee consumption, including decaffeination, can provide a new guideline for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2. Based on the results, we also suggest a coffee-drinking plan for people to prevent infection in the post-COVID-19 era.
Aw heck yes, petition to name this the Janeway diet!
- In the words on the great Janeway, “Do It!”.
  
  There’s _coffee an odds ratio decrease of 0.1 in that nebula!

Nicotine and amphetamines had the same effect based on studies done during the pandemic, accounting for smoking's oddly protective effect that was observed initially, counterintuitively.
As someone with ADHD that dips and drinks coffee, none of that stopped me from getting covid repeatedly while working in a hospital.
- Still getting COVID is consistent with the results of this study. Coffee helps, but only by 10%.
  Based on the previous report analysis [26], drinking one or more cups of coffee per day was related to approximately 10% lower risk of COVID-19 compared to no coffee in the UK Biobank (UKB)

hell yeah coffee and weed have ace2 inhibitors just what i need to hear to keep enjoying them guilt free baby

Is this actually true in the way that is intuitive or is it true in the same sense that if you have a petri dish with cancerous cells in it you can kill them with a handgun
- According to the study at least, they claim to have seen a statistically significant difference in human trials with moderate coffee consumption. Whether the trials were well done is another question of course. :)

Good news everyone

I'm only half joking when I credit caffeine and cannabis for helping me dodge covid all this time (that I know of, I might've had an asymptomatic case but every time I've gotten tested it's been negative). Of course masking and living like a hermit even before covid kicked off definitely helps, but I'll take the excuse to indulge in my favourite vices
- I heard beer helps a lot too!
  Where I heard you ask? Well I red it somewhere... I'm sure it was a reliable source...

So between daily coffee and weekly cannabis consumption I should be well protected. Not to mention the vaccination. So why did I catch that shit last year??
- Because 10% more protection does not mean 100% safe.
  
  I wasn't being serious, in case that wasn't obvious. But thanks for the clarification.
- @Chais @yogthos I was asking myself the same 🤣

I was at an inpatient medical facility last year and they had a doctor come in specifically to give an hour long lecture about how smoking cigarettes prevents covid. It was the most surreal thing I've ever experienced and I have no idea where they found that Marlboro man ass doctor.

That site won’t let me reject cookies, I’m forced to accept them. So I’ll pass thanks.
- Well coffee and cookies go great together
- If you use Firefox you can turn on the thing that they just enabled in Germany by going to about:config and setting these options:
  cookiebanners.service.mode 2
  cookiebanners.service.mode.privateBrowsing 2
  They are both set to '0' right now.
  They are testing this setting, so if something goes wrong then change it back.

  Caveat: I just learned this on Lemmy in some other thread I can't find again.

CBD also helps and doesn't leave a motherfucker with the jitters
- Is that true? I don't do anything but I'd see about this if it kept my lungs from turning into beef jerky
  
  It won't stop an infection from going bad but it can mildly reduce risk of infection iirc

Anyone else get a feeling of pressure in their eye when they drink coffee?
It happens to me sometimes but not always
that's why i stopped
- Do you remove the spoon from the cup, before you take a sip? /j
- I do not, but does that happen with decaf or with other caffeinated drinks?
  
  happens with decaf, doesn't happen with tea
  it has nothing to do with caffeine
