Researchers at the School of Public Health at Imperial College London discovered an amazing benefit of coffee, which was not known before, as they discovered that a high level of caffeine in the blood may reduce the amount of fat in the body and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Sky News Arabia quoted BMG Medicine magazine as saying that the potential role of calorie-free caffeine drinks in reducing the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes has been supported by more reliable data.
These exciting results contradict previous common information about the need to reduce the consumption of caffeine-containing drinks, such as coffee and tea, due to their danger to human health.
The researchers note that previous studies indicate that drinking 3-5 cups of coffee per day, which is a rich source of caffeine, is associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
But most of the study published so far is in observational studies, which cannot reliably establish a causal relationship between other potentially influencing factors, the researchers say.
It is also difficult to separate any specific effects of caffeine from other compounds found in caffeinated beverages and foods.
Depinder Gill, from the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health at Imperial College London, and co-researcher of the study, told Sky News Arabia, that the results of the study concluded that high levels of caffeine in the plasma may lead to a reduction in body weight and reduce the risk of developing diabetes. .
It is known that caffeine enhances metabolism, increases fat burning and reduces appetite.
It is estimated that taking 100 mg daily increases energy intake by about 100 calories per day, which may therefore reduce the risk of obesity.
