Studies on coffee consumption: New biomarker proposed
![](http://192.168.0.6/wordpress/wp-content/themes/cocoon-master/screenshot.jpg)
In order to record coffee consumption in nutrition and health studies, researchers usually rely on self-reporting by participants. However, this is not always reliable. It would therefore be desirable to conduct additional studies to objectively verify individual consumption using biomarkers. A research team has now validated the suitability of a specific roasted coffee compound and proposes it as a new, practical food biomarker.
