Coffee and Caffeine Consumption for Human Health by Juan Del Coso, 2022

Caffeine is present in coffee and many other beverages and is the most widely used central nervous system stimulant. Coffee drinking or caffeine supplementation may have a role in preventing cardiometabolic and endocrine disease, neuroinflammation, cancer, and even all-cause mortality.

Other aspects are either less known or controversial, including the effects on the brain–gut axis, neurodevelopment, behavior, pain, muscle–skeletal health, skin or sexual function. Studies focusing on special populations (neonates, children, adolescents, athletes, elderly, pregnant and nonpregnant women), or interactions with other drugs and foods, are relatively scarce but of obvious interest. Other compounds present in coffee and other caffeinated food stuffs may affect caffeine´s physiological effects with a tremendous impact on health. This Special Issue, which contains twenty-one manuscripts, has focused on some of these varied topics, providing further evidence of the multiple health benefits that coffee/caffeine intake may exert in humans, at least in specific populations (with a particular genetic profile or suffering from specific diseases). However, the specific effects in the different organs and systems, as well as the mechanisms involved are not yet clear. Furthermore, within the current context aiming to sustainable development, the coffee plant Coffee sp. and its so-far relatively neglected by-products are expected to become soon a source of ingredients for new functional foods whose properties will need to be precisely determined. We hope the readers of this Special Issue will find inspiration for new studies on the topic.

Up from the Earth: Gigantic Jet Lightning

What's that rising up from the Earth? When circling the Earth on the International Space Station early in July, astronaut Nicole Ayers saw an unusual type of lightning rising up from the Earth: a gigantic jet. The powerful jet appears near the center of the featured image in red, white, and blue.

 Giant jet lightning has only been known about for the past 25 years. The atmospheric jets are associated with thunderstorms and extend upwards towards Earth's ionosphere. The lower part of the frame shows the Earth at night, with Earth's thin atmosphere tinted green from airglow. City lights are visible, sometimes resolved, but usually creating diffuse white glows in intervening clouds. The top of the frame reveals distant stars in the dark night sky. The nature of gigantic jets and their possible association with other types of Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) such as blue jets and red sprites remain active topics of research.

Our sun, runner-up: A Sun Yawn by Zhang Yanguang

A sequence documents the eruption of a massive solar prominence, originating as a small protrusion from the sun’s surface that expanded into an enormous plasma structure before dissipating into the void. Using 11 images taken about 12 minutes apart, the photographer in Fujian, China, documented this entire celestial event – as if the sun had let out a cosmic yawn.

Meet Bock’s pygmy octopus (Octopus bocki). Growing up to 0.98 in (2.5 cm) long, excluding tentacles, this tiny species can be found near coral reefs in parts of the Central Pacific. It is primarily active at night, using camouflage to avoid predators. But when threatened, it can also release a cloud of ink to distract foes as the octopus makes an escape.

Ground pangolin (Smutsia temminckii)

This armored mammal spends most of its time on the floor of its habitat, creating burrows beneath the surface to snooze in during the day. Under the cover of darkness, it emerges to forage for insects like ants and termites. It uses its long tongue to slurp up prey whole. When threatened, it can roll up into a ball, protecting its soft body from predators.


Its keratinized scales act as a built-in suit of armor. This species  can be found in parts of Africa including Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa.

On this day in 1936, the last known thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus) died at the Hobart Zoo in Tasmania. The animal’s passing marked the extinction of its species. Also known as the “Tasmanian wolf,” the thylacine was Australia’s largest marsupial predator. It sported a dog-like form, with distinctive stripes, and a jaw that could open up to 80 degrees—one of the largest gapes of any mammal.

The thylacine fed primarily on small mammals and birds. Nocturnal and shy, it was seldom seen by humans. However, beginning in the 19th century, settlers believed the animals threatened their livestock and, spurred on by a bounty offered by the government, hunted them relentlessly. Attempts at protecting the species in the wild came too late: Despite numerous unconfirmed reports of sightings in recent decades, no definitive sightings have occurred since the 1930s.

女性声優さんがインド人と結婚しただけでネットで攻撃され、事務所が声明を出すという事態に、日本人の排外主義(しかも白人は例外で黄色・黒色人種限定という「名誉白人」ぶり)の深刻さを痛感します。「『ラブライブ!』ボリウッドでミュージカル映画化じゃあ!」くらい思わないのか。

日本人女性とインド人男性の国際結婚のさきがけといえば「中村屋のボース」ですが、そのボースが亡命してきた日本で悩んだのが、カレーのまずいこと。ついに自分で作ろうと考え、まず義父に頼んで始めたのが、牧場なのです。うまいカレーにはまずうまいバターから、という。

この話は、下母澤寛『味覚極楽』という、昭和初年のさまざまな人びとの食にまつわる話を書き留めたとても面白い本のなかでも、とりわけ印象的なエピソードです。さすが大物革命家、カレーひとつ作るにしても気合が違うのでした。
