When it first came to Europe in the seventeenth century, coffee stirred up great opposition as a new and unapproved drug.

It depends of course on living conditions which small proportion of disposable neurons will definitely ascend in the hierarchy and thus assume the role of Group 3 neurons during the lifetime of the individual.

C. arabica originated from Ethiopia, where the fruits were first used as food by nomads. Roasted coffee seeds ( beans ) were brewed in Arabia around AD 1000 to prepare a drink called qahwah , and it was introduced into Europe as kahveh after AD 1600 coffee and coffee houses became soon popular in Europe. Johann Sebastian Bach s Coffee Cantata (BMV 211), which he composed for a text written by Picander in the beginning of the eighteenth century, reflects this growing popularity as well as the controversy on the assumed dangerous health effects of coffee at that time.
