I find myself sucking the chocolate off which is usually average then sooking about the badly roasted and stale bean. It's super tricky to get chocolate coated coffee beans to a snobby standard.
Even toyed with the idea of doing Yemen beans once, I think they are powerful enough to work. Hmmm... one day.

The idea is to use freshly ground coffee as a BBQ rub, not depleted grounds, I've tried it a couple of times, not to my taste

Good idea using them in a BBQ rub, will have to give it a try. Currently all of mine go into the compost.
I'm sure there are better additions one could make to their diet before used coffee grounds.

I wonder if they considered the following:- Cost of electricity to dry the coffee grounds in the oven?
- Shelf life of "dried" coffee grounds?
- If rats ate the coffee grounds, are they attracted to coffee grounds placed in the garden?
- What aspect of the coffee grounds contributed to the reduction in blood pressure and glucose concentration?
- How much caffeine remained in the grounds?
- Was it just the caffeine that was the contributing factor?
- Was the 5% coffee grounds the only fibre in their high fat, high carb diet?
- Did the caffeine encourage extra physical activity in the rats, thereby producing the health benefits?
Personally I see this as a waste of money and the Biomedical students could (should) use their time and effort in more productive areas of medical research. For example, the benefits of hemp oil, seeds etc are widely known and being researched worldwide. Not to mention the use of hemp fibre in lieu of cotton to make clothing and materials.
Hemp is more suited to grow in Australia than cotton and requires fewer pesticides and less water.
By Hemp, I am referring to the Industrial product with low THC.
As stated by others, spent coffee grounds are perfect for the garden. They stimulate worms and microbiological activity in the soil, thus enriching the garden with a natural product.
I use freshly ground coffee as part of the ingredients in my BBQ rubs. Basically between 15-20% of the rub used to smoke a brisket. Translates to 10g for 4kg of brisket.
Trying to incorporate coffee grounds to represent 5% of your daily intake is not palatable to me. I prefer to enrich the coffee with water and enjoy the resulting health drink. The spent coffee is better used in the garden as a natural snail deterrent. win win both ways.

Wonder if you mixed used coffee grounds with chocolate there would be a market.

I don't think this idea is so alien. Chocolate coated coffee beans are still available for sale. They seem like a popular enough treat.

Yelta, you beat me to it posting this bright idea. When I want to lose weight I eat less proper food, let alone adding coffee refuse to the diet. The used grounds go into the ground -- literally. In the vegetable patch ground and the compost.

My first thought when I saw your post was the continuation “... from vomiting so much!”

Perhaps if your a rat.
Interesting story from the ABC site.
5% would probably be undetectable in some recipes.?
