The Surprising Health Benefits and Risks of Coffee.
TL;DR Summary
A new study published in the British magazine BMJ found that slow caffeine breakdown resulting in high standing levels over time is connected to a reduction in blood sugar levels, which is a significant risk factor in the development of type-2 diabetes. Coffee is considered a superior method of caffeine intake for those looking to affect their blood sugar, as it does not have a high sugar content like soda or energy drinks. However, further study is needed before definitive conclusions can be drawn.
