New Research Reveals Potential Mechanism for How Coffee May Reduce Risk of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)

  • New scientific research investigates inflammation and insulin resistance in habitual coffee drinkers to understand how coffee may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), mediated by inflammatory biomarkers in the body 1.
  • Drinking just one additional cup of coffee per day was associated with a 4-6% lower risk of T2D among participants in two large prospective cohort studies, which was partly explained by lower levels of inflammation1.
  • Experts consider consuming up to 400mg of caffeine (3-5 cups of coffee) per day to be a moderate and safe amount for most adults. For pregnant or lactating women, caffeine intake should be reduced to 200mg per day2.
  • These results further support previous research on the association between higher habitual coffee consumption and lower T2D risk 3-9, especially amongst drinkers of filtered or espresso coffee and non-smokers1.
