Coffee, diabetes, and weight control
Source: American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
“Most of the prospective epidemiologic studies suggested that long-term consumption of coffee and decaffeinated coffee can reduce the risk of diabetes. One of these studies found that the intakes of caffeinated coffee, decaffeinated coffee, and caffeine were independently associated with weight loss. Another found that increasing intakes of these beverages were associated inversely with weight gain, but the effects were modest. It seems possible that long-term coffee consumption may have a weak ability to help persons achieve weight loss, and that this weight loss may contribute toward reducing the risk of diabetes.”
