Scientists from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, in a new study found that a large amount of caffeine in the human body reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and obesity.. The results of scientific work are published in the journal BMJ Medicine. The study used Mendelian randomization. This method, based on genetic indicators, to determine the risk factor, in particular, caffeine in the blood of more than 100 thousand subjects. The researchers looked at the relationship between CYP1A2 and AHR gene variants and body mass index), type 2 diabetes and major cardiovascular diseases - coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure and atrial fibrillation.. Previously, it was known that the CYP1A2 and AHR genes are responsible for the rate of metabolism of caffeine in the body.. So, their carriers have a slower absorption of caffeine, as they drink less coffee on average.. At the same time, they have higher blood levels of caffeine than fast metabolizers who consume more of the stimulant.. Thus, it became known that higher levels of caffeine in the blood are associated with lower weight and with a decrease in the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes.. The study then showed that weight loss accounted for almost 43% of the effect of caffeine on the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.. In addition, blood levels of caffeine did not affect the risk of developing cardiovascular disease..

" However, most of the published works were observational, that is, they could not reliably establish causal relationships due to other potentially influencing factors," Recall, earlier, scientists from the Baylor College of Medicine discovered a new useful property of natural black coffee.. It has a positive effect on the intestinal microflora. Named a way to improve brain function without caffeine. Subscribe to our channel https://t. me/korrespondentnet Author: 1.
