But don’t shelve your coffee mug just yet. Coffee might not be the culprit. In fact, it may offer some protection against diabetes it may offer some protection against diabetes, say researchers.
Caffeine’s Buzz Is Common
Nearly 90% of U.S. adults and 76% of children have caffeine on a daily basis. Soft drinks are the top source for kids; for adults, coffee is No. 1, followed by soft drinks and teas. That’s according to a study in January’s Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
Charting Caffeine’s Effects
Participants included 23 white men. Eight were lean, seven were obese and had type 2 diabetes, and eight were obese but did not have diabetes.
They drank up to 5 cups a day of coffee or tea, with two men favoring decaffeinated versions.
Exercise didn’t make up for caffeine’s setbacks. Even when the men worked out, they still had blood sugar and insulin problems while taking caffeine.
Coffee May Not Be to Blame
“Coffee contains many other substances besides caffeine, such as potassium, antioxidants, and magnesium,” write the researchers, who included Robert Ross, PhD, of Queen’s University. Perhaps those other substances are helpful, but that’s not certain.
The study appears in the March issue of Diabetes Care.
