Gustav III of Sweden's coffee experiment[edit]

Gustav III of Sweden (1746–1792) was determined to prove the negative health effects of coffee

  • ... that Gustav III, in an experiment, commuted the death sentences of a pair of twins on the condition that one drank 3 pots of coffee, and the other tea, every day for the rest of their lives?

  • This is my first DYK review. I've verified date, hook, size. But does the image serve any purpose in illustrating the article? Particulalrly, the article is about an experiment, not about a person associated with the experiment. --SupernovaExplosion (talk) 17:46, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Well, he ordered the experiment to be carried out, that is kind of relevant. The image is not really important to this nom, but why not? I just like images, I guess ;) jonkerz ♠talk 18:06, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
