    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9654648/ "Kahweol and cafestol are two diterpenes extracted from Coffea arabica beans that have distinct biological activities. Recent research describes their potential activities, which include anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and anti-cancer properties, among others"
