Talk:Gustav III of Sweden's coffee experiment

Completely idiotic sentence
"Although the authenticity of the event has been questioned,[1] the experiment, which was conducted in the second half of the 18th century, failed to prove that coffee was a dangerous beverage."

So it is questioned whether the experiment actually ever happened, but the experiment "which was conducted" (oh, really now, was it?) ... Whoever wrote that sentence should be put to death by lethal caffeine injection.

Urban Myth
Fairly certainly an urban myth, as no accounts mention anything about when the "experiment" was supposed to have started, or when the coffee drinker is supposed to have died. Also, the "experiment" is supposed to have continued even after "both the doctors" who aren't named, and the King, all passed away. There's no supportable evidence anywhere. 82.209.158.35 (talk) 16:56, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
