coffee Consumption, Additive Use, and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
Background: Consumption of coffee has been consistently associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, it is unknown whether the use of additives may modify the association.
Objective: to study the association between coffee consumption and risk of T2D by considering the addition of sugar, artificial sweeteners, cream, or a non-dairy coffee whitener.

Coffee consumption and health: umbrella review of meta of coffee drinking
Coffee consumption was consistently associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes for high versus low consumption (relative risk 0.70, 95% confidence interval 0.65 to 0.75) and one extra cup a day (0.94, 0.93 to 0.95).there was some evidence for a non-linear dose-response, but the risk was still lower for each dose of increased coffee consumption.

New research reveals how coffee and tea can affect risk of early death

How to reduce coffee from the risk of developing diabetes
According to the results, the study confirmed that adding sugar reduces the benefit to only 5% per cup, and that eating coffee with added sugar or artificial sweeteners may affect the body’s response to insulin, which increases the risk of diabetes.
Dr. Matays Hin, the leader of the study, stressed that avoiding sugar and artificial sweeteners helps in achieving the maximum health benefit of coffee. The study showed that the use of artificial sweeteners reduces the benefit to only 7% for each cup, as it contains vegetable compounds that reduce infections in the body, helps maintain a healthy weight, which reduces the risk of diabetes, as caffeine enhances insulin sensitivity and reduces its resistance.
Coffee Consumption, Additives, and type 2 Diabetes: An Expert Interview
Table of Contents
Recent research has brought to light the complex relationship between coffee consumption and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. this conversation with Dr. Matays Hin, an expert in nutrition and metabolic health, delves into thes findings to uncover how additives might affect this relationship and provide practical insights for maintaining better health.
Coffee and Type 2 Diabetes Risk
Senior Editor (SE): Dr. Hin, your research has shown that coffee consumption can lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Could you elaborate on this correlation?
Dr. Matays Hin (MH): Certainly! Our studies have consistently demonstrated that higher coffee consumption is associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes.For instance, those who consume more coffee have up to a 30% reduced risk compared to those who consume less.
SE: What about the impact of coffee additives? How might they modify this relationship?
MH: Great question.Our research indicates that additives like sugar, artificial sweeteners, cream, and non-dairy whiteners may influence the benefits of coffee. Specifically, adding sugar reduces the benefit by approximately 5% per cup, while artificial sweeteners reduce it by about 7%.
Impact of Additives on Insulin sensitivity
SE: Can you explain how these additives affect insulin sensitivity?
MH: Absolutely. Both sugar and artificial sweeteners can impact the body’s insulin response. Sugar obviously increases blood glucose levels, which affects insulin function. Artificial sweeteners, on the other hand, contain certain compounds that, while they do not directly increase blood sugar, can alter the body’s metabolic processes and impact insulin sensitivity.
SE: How does caffeine play a role in this context?
MH: Caffeine is known to enhance insulin sensitivity and reduce insulin resistance. This physiological effect may contribute to the overall protective effect of coffee consumption against type 2 diabetes.
Maximizing Health Benefits of Coffee
SE: What advice would you give to someone looking to maximize the health benefits of coffee?
MH: Avoiding sugar and artificial sweeteners is crucial. Consuming coffee black or with minimal natural sweeteners can help achieve the maximum health benefits. Additionally, staying hydrated with coffee, tea, and water can further reduce the risk of heart disease and premature death.
SE: Lastly, what’s your perspective on the non-linear dose-response relationship?
MH: There is some evidence suggesting that the benefit of coffee consumption might not be strictly linear. While increased consumption generally lowers the risk, the benefits may plateau or even reduce at very high levels of consumption. Therefore,moderation is key.
Conclusion
SE: Thank you, Dr. Hin, for sharing these valuable insights. It gives our readers a nuanced understanding of how coffee and its additives can impact their health.
MH: You’re welcome. It’s always important to encourage an informed and balanced approach to coffee consumption for better health outcomes.
