However, regular, controlled morning coffee consumption could just be a marker of health-conciousness or a lower-stress life, i.e., several significant confounding variables were not addressed in the study. The study was funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease; and National Institute of Health. I did not check to see if any of the members of these organizations, or if the Thor’s themselves, own coffee farms, roasteries, or coffee making equipment businesses, or have stock in publicly traded coffee companies. <br/><br/>Wang X, Ma H, Sun Q, et al.

The literature indicates that even short-term venous stasis can cause clinically significant changes in several analytes.<br/><br/>**Duration and Impact:**<br/>- 1 minute: Statistically significant changes can be observed in albumin, calcium, and potassium.[1] The AHA recommends that a tourniquet should not be applied for more than 1 minute to avoid significant increases in triglyceride levels.[1][2]<br/><br/>- 3 minutes: significant increases in alanine aminotransferase, total cholesterol, glucose, and potassium. Hemoconcentration effects are more evident[1][3]<br/><br/>**So**<br/>- It’s recommended to keep tourniquet application to less than 1 minute.[2]<br/><br/>- Waiting for 5 minutes with the needle in situ after removing the tourniquet can help reduce hemostasis-induced variability.[4] But this is never going to happen.<br/><br/>Basically, tourniquet application should not exceed 1 minute if you want to minimize the risk of significant alterations in analyte concentrations.<br/><br/>**Rationalization**<br/>[1] Lippi G, Salvagno GL, Montagnana M, Brocco G, Guidi GC.
