The review says the method cannot provide vitamin D: glass blocks UVB, and vitamin D synthesis occurs in living tissue rather than water.

It notes that the coffee evidence is difficult to apply specifically to New York because much of it is national, and that some other research suggests store-bought coffee consumption exceeds daily or near-daily cannabis use.
