Gotta wonder, was it the coffee or simply the heat from the warm drink?  Hope they at least ran the experiment using a plain old hot water drink as a comparison control. |

After baseline imaging, participants consumed either a caffeinated beverage (NescafeŠ Original 1.8 g sachet ~65 mg caffeine dissolved in 200 ml water at 22 °C; n = 9) or water alone at 22 °C (n = 9), remained seated for 30 minutes (to allow time for caffeine absorption33) and then underwent further thermal imaging.

Yup. Hot water was the control. |
