Drink 3-4 Cups of Coffee Daily to Keep Diabetes at Bay
Drinking three to four cups of coffee a day can reduce type-2 diabetes risk by nearly 25 percent, reveals a new study. The findings of the study are presented at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Germany.
The effect of coffee consumption on Type-2 diabetes was found in both men and women.

The same protective effect applied to consume the same amount of decaffeinated coffee, the study showed.

It was not just caffeine, but a mix of compounds including hydroxycinnamic acids notably chlorogenic acid, trigonelline, diterpenes, eg cafestol and kahweol, and caffeic acid, that is said to be the reason behind the link, said Mattias Carlstrom, Associate Professor from the Karolinska Institutet, Sweden.

For the study, the team reviewed 30 prospective studies, with a total of 1,185,210 participants.

Professor Kjeld Hermansen from the Aarhus University in Denmark, suggests that many factors may be involved including an antioxidant effect, an anti-inflammatory effect, thermogenic effects or the modulation of microbiome diversity.

Coffee also caused a cascade of other beneficial changes in the fatty liver and inflammatory adipocytokines related to reduced diabetes risk.
