Should I completely cut caffeine in light of genetic information?

Asked by clay (11points) June 2nd, 2010

According to 23andme, I have a form of rs762551 that may cause me to metabolize caffeine slowly and thus may increase my chance of a heart attack later in life. I love coffee and am as hopelessly addicted as anyone else and I have had some of the most exciting conversations of my life while drinking cup after cup of coffee. Unfortunately, now I know that it is actually destructive to my health so I feel like I must cut it out. Is there any good replacement for caffeine?
