Caffeine Reduces Fat and Protects Against Diabetes

A new study published in the journal "BMJ Medicine" reveals that high caffeine intake can lower body fat levels and reduce the risk of developing diabetes. Health experts from Sweden, Denmark, and the United Kingdom analyzed how caffeine consumption affects body weight, cardiovascular health, and the risk of diabetes. The researchers found that high concentrations of caffeine in the blood are associated with a lower body mass index (BMI), which is the measure used to determine if a person has a healthy weight, and with lower overall body fat levels. The study also indicated that higher caffeine levels are linked to a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, as about half of the diabetes risk is associated with the marked decrease of caffeine in the body mass index.
