A joint team of researchers at Harvard University's T.H. Chan School of Health recently published the results of a survey of coffee consumption by about 290,000 people in the journal 『American Journal of Clinical Nutrition』.
According to the researchers, about 13,000 out of 290,000 subjects have type 2 diabetes.
According to the survey, drinking one cup of black coffee every day reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by about 10%. Similar effects were observed when milk or whipped cream was added.
On the other hand, the addition of sugar or artificial sweeteners has been found to reduce the preventive effect.
Adding a teaspoon of sugar reduced the effectiveness of preventing type 2 diabetes to 5%, and adding artificial sweeteners dropped to 7%.
According to the researchers, caffeine and plant compounds found in coffee can reduce inflammation in the body related to type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Mathias Henne, who led the study, said "Drinking coffee can help lower the risk of diabetes, but adding sugar or sweeteners significantly reduces these benefits."
Prior to this, a study found that people who consume more than four cups of coffee a day are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who rarely drink coffee.
In addition, studies show that drinking three cups of coffee or consuming 200-300mg of caffeine a day can reduce the likelihood of two or more diseases among cardiac metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke.
