Some previous studies have pointed out that consumption of coffee can lose weight and type two diabetes. However, this is contradicted by a recent study found that excessive coffee consumption can produce the opposite effect.
One of the main factors driving the health benefits of coffee does not come from caffeine, but polyphenols, especially chlorogenic acid (CGA), which is known to improve insulin sensitivity, lower blood pressure, and the accumulation of fat.
The research team tested the effects of CGA further in obese rats with different doses CGA equivalent to five to six cups per day. The team of researchers found the mice actually showed the defense of fat in the cells, more glucose intolerance, diabetes early kondisis, and increased insulin defense.
The study also found CGA could not prevent weight gain in obese mice fed a high-fat diet and given higher doses of CGA. However, the team still recommend coffee consumption in sufficient quantities.
It seems that the health benefits are very dependent on the dose of this content. Coffee consumption in sufficient quantities approximately three to four cups still showed benefits decreased risk of heart disease and type two diabetes
