A new analysis just published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences has discovered an important effect of coffee, especially black coffee without sugar, in preventing a disease that is alarmingly increasing globally.
Scientists from Pukyong National University and Kyungpook National University in South Korea pooled data from 149 studies looking at the effects of coffee on metabolic processes linked to the development of type 2 diabetes. They focused on five hydroxycinnamic acids found in coffee and analyzed the effects of these polyphenols on the small intestine, pancreas, liver, muscle, and tissue.

Notably, caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee have the same effects.
Coffee and its bioactive compounds, including chlorogenic acid and its hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives... have significant potential in the prevention and control of type 2 diabetes, the authors explain.
Scientists say more research is needed, but the benefits of drinking coffee every day are clear.
Professor, Dr. Zhaoping Li, Head of the Department of Clinical Nutrition at the University of California (USA), although not involved in the research, also said: Drinking coffee brings natural benefits. You can make coffee a part of your healthy lifestyle.
Dr Marilyn Tan, clinical associate professor of medicine at Stanford University (USA), said the new findings were remarkable. The 20-30% reduction in the risk of type 2 diabetes is very large and meaningful. Interestingly, the effect was the same whether coffee was caffeinated or decaffeinated, suggesting that it was the other components of coffee that did the magic.
Experts recommend that it is best to enjoy no more than 4 cups of coffee per day. In particular, you should avoid adding sugar to reap the benefits, according to Healthline.
