Research shows that drinking black coffee may help with blood sugar control, especially for women. A study analyzed coffee consumption among Korean adults and found that those who drank two cups of black coffee daily had better glucose metabolism compared to non-drinkers. This suggests that the type of coffee consumed matters greatly.
• Participants were surveyed about their coffee habits, focusing on black coffee versus coffee with sugar or cream.
• Drinking two cups of black coffee daily was linked to lower insulin resistance and better blood sugar levels, particularly in women.
• The study highlighted that coffee with added sugar or cream did not provide the same benefits.
• Older adults also showed improved glucose metabolism with higher coffee intake, though individual health factors must be considered.
These findings are significant as they suggest that simple changes in coffee consumption can potentially improve metabolic health, particularly for women and older adults. Understanding how personal factors influence health can help individuals make better dietary choices.
