Studies say that coffee contains special proteins with analgesic effects similar to morphine.

According to foreign media reports, Brazilian researchers recently found that the coffee that people often drink contains a protein with an analgesic effect similar to morphine.

According to the report, Embrapa issued a statement saying that a study conducted by researchers from its genetics and biotechnology department and scientists at the University of Brasilia found that coffee contains "previously undiscovered proteins" that have analgesic and mild sedative effects similar to morphine (morphine).

In experiments on mice, the researchers found that these opioid peptides (opioid peptides) seemed to have a longer-lasting analgesic effect than morphine. It is said that the discovery has "potential for the development of biotechnology" for the health food industry, and it also helps reduce the pressure on animals during the slaughtering process.
