3-4 cups of coffee daily may keep diabetes at bay
Drinking
three to four cups of coffee
a day can lower your risk of developing Type-2
diabetes by nearly 25 per cent, suggests a study.
The
effect of coffee consumption on Type-2
diabetes was found in both men and women.
The
same protective effect applied to consuming 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.
The
results were presented at 2018 Annual Meeting of the European Association for
the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Germany.
For
the study, the team reviewed 30 prospective studies, with a total of 1,185,210
participants.

of factors may be involved including an antioxidant effect, an
anti-inflammatory effect, thermogenic effects or the modulation of microbiome
