Gustav III of Sweden's coffee experiment : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gustav III of Sweden's coffee experiment
Gustav III of Sweden's coffee experiment was a twin study ordered by the king to study the health effects of coffee. Although the authenticity of the event has been questioned,〔 the experiment, which was conducted in the second half of the 18th century, failed to prove that coffee was a dangerous beverage. ==Background== Coffee first arrived in Sweden around 1674,〔 but was little used until the turn of the 18th century when it became fashionable among the wealthy.〔 In 1746, a royal edict was issued against coffee and tea due to "the misuse and excesses of tea and coffee drinking". Heavy taxes were levied on consumption, and failure to pay the tax on the substance resulted in fines and confiscation of cups and dishes.〔 Later, coffee was banned completely; despite the ban, consumption continued.〔 Gustav III, who viewed coffee consumption as a threat to the public health and was determined to prove its negative health effects, ordered a scientific experiment to be carried out.〔
