Scientists from the University of Georgia (USA) conducted a study, which found that a substance called chlorogenic acid, which is part of coffee, helps to avoid the development of obesity.

During the experiment, rodents were fed high-calorie food for 15 weeks. At the same time they were injected twice a week with chlorogenic acid. This substance not only prevented a set of excess weight, but also helped to normalize the blood sugar level in rats.

"Previous studies have shown that drinking coffee helps prevent the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We managed to identify a specific substance that is contained not only in coffee, but also in some vegetables and fruits, for example, apples, pears, tomatoes and blueberries, "said lead author Dr. Yongze Ma.

Obesity is often accompanied by problems such as immunity to insulin and fat deposits in the liver, leading to its dysfunction and the development of type 2 diabetes.

Rodents received very concentrated chlorogenic acid. This amount can not be used only with coffee and vegetables. Therefore, to avoid the development of problems with excess weight, scientists recommend that they regularly exercise and maintain a healthy diet, not hoping only for coffee.
