Coffee may reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes in women, UCLA researchers say
For those who can’t survive without their morning coffee, there’s now a new reason to keep up with the habit.
According to a recent UCLA study, drinking about four cups of coffee a day could help protect against type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes marked by high levels of glucose in the blood.
While this claim has circulated for several years, researchers Dr. Atsushi Goto and Dr. Simin Liu built on their previous research on diabetes to see if these theories had merit.
The research centers around a protein called sex hormone-binding globulin, which regulates the levels of the body’s sex hormones, estrogen and testosterone. These hormones may play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes, which also draws on family history and genetics.
It turns out coffee consumption decreases the levels of this protein.
“I think coffee, especially a moderate amount, could have an important effect,” Liu said. “It’s not a bad idea.”
