Researchers concluded that each cup of coffee with or without milk, a person drinks it reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 10%.
On the other hand, people who added sugar lost half of the benefit, as the risk of developing type 2 diabetes had a 5% less per cup of coffee.
The study was conducted by researchers from the Nutrition Department, at Harvard TH Chan College of Public Health in the United States, and published the results of the study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and the British Daily Mail newspaper wrote about it.
It is known from the previous evidence that coffee mustache acquires less weight as they are old, which may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, and caffeine and vegetables in the coffee may reduce inflammation in the body associated with type 2 diabetes. As for adding sugar, it increases the chances of weight gain.
It was found that the status of artificial sweeteners in coffee affects its apparent ability to protect against type 2 diabetes, as the decrease in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes per cup is only 7% when adding these sweeteners.
“Drinking coffee may help reduce the risk of diabetes, but adding sugar or sweeteners greatly reduces these benefits,” said Dr. Mattayas Hin, who prepared the study from Harvard TH Chan College for Public Health.
