High Caffeine intake could Reduce Weight and Diabetes Risk
A recent study published in the open-access journal BMJ Medicine suggests that high caffeine levels may reduce the amount of body fat a person carries and their risk of type 2 diabetes. The findings open up the possibility of exploring the role of calorie-free caffeinated drinks in lowering the risks of obesity and type 2 diabetes. While previous research has shown that drinking 3-5 daily cups of coffee is associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, most of these studies have relied on observational data, which can’t reliably establish causal effects. Furthermore, it is difficult to isolate the specific effects of High Caffeine from the other compounds included in caffeinated drinks and foods. The Technique of Mendelian Randomization To overcome these issues, the researchers used Mendelian randomization to investigate the effects of higher blood caffeine levels on body fat and the long-term risks of type 2 diabetes and major cardiovascular diseases...
