The good news is that there are losts of other species of coffee, with other favored climate ranges.

Cygnia Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 The Curious Link Between Blindness and Schizophrenia Quote It’s a phenomenon that’s stumped even the smartest scientific brains for decades: No one born blind has ever been diagnosed with schizophrenia. And though there have been countless studies conducted to test the theory, none have been as comprehensive as one published in Schizophrenia Research in 2018, which looked at whole-population data from 467,945 children born in Western Australia between 1980 and 2001. Over the course of the study, scientists found that of the 1,870 children (0.4 percent) who developed schizophrenia, none were born blind. The anomaly has led researchers to believe there’s something about congenital blindness that, in fact, protects people from developing the condition. But what? There are two ideas: cognition and vision. … rravenwood and homopbal 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
