CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETT
Recently studies were conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health and published online in Diabetologia found that consuming a certain amount of coffee could help lower your risk for type 2 diabetes. Is this finding contradicting previous beliefs?
The study included 123,000 participants. They all completed questionnaires regarding their coffee intake. The researchers analyzed the amount of coffee consumed and compared that to different health benefits.
The team found that those who increased the amount of coffee they consumed by more than one cup per day over a four-year period significantly reduced their risk for diabetes, compared to those who drank less coffee, which was found to increase risk for diabetes.
According to lead researcher, Dr. Frank Hu:
"Basically, the more coffee, the lower the risk of diabetes, people who drink three to five cups of coffee a day enjoyed a significant reduction in type 2 diabetes risk."
If you are interested in minimizing your risk of developing type-2 diabetes, you might want to consider increasing the amount of coffee you consume each day.
Enjoy your day.
