Caffeine could reduce body fat and type 2 diabetes risk FMTNews FMTLifestyle
PARIS: According to a new study, a high level of caffeine in the blood could curb body fat and the risk of type 2 diabetes.Previous studies had already established a link between coffee consumption and a reduced risk of diabetes. But this research remained observational.
For the purposes of their study, the researchers used the Mendelian randomization technique, which establishes causation through genetic evidence. From a sample of around 10,000 people, the researchers noticed that people with variations in these two genes metabolize caffeine more slowly. The results also showed that people with high levels of caffeine in their blood have a lower BMI and body fat than others. They also have a lower risk of type 2 diabetes.
