I wonder if the general opacity of the article has any connection with the author's background in Creative Writing?

I wasn't a coffee drinker untl recently ,I drink it black without sugar and I find it stops me feeling hungry for longer .
When I have my tea,also black and sugarless I do like something with it ,I have no idea why coffee is different but while its working I'll keep drinking it .

Hmm, I have me doubts. There is not one statistic in the report. No mention of how much caffein helps. Does it increase thermogenisis by 1%, 10%, 100%? Does nornal thermogenesis burn I calorie a minute, 10, 20, 50.

This is the classic press release by a university press office where no one knows anything about the subject.

DS is an academic and constantly complains about the nonsense in the press releases written by the press office for research done by his department and over which they have little control.

Hahaha so if a single cup can do that me have four or five a day should look like a stick

A new study suggests that a single cup of coffee is what you may require to tackle two of the most common conditions – obesity and diabetes.
