Coffee consumption lowers Risk of Syndrome X.
A recent study published in the August 2017 issue of International Journal of Food Science Nutrition looked at the relationship between coffee consumption and metabolic syndrome[1]. The study used the data from the WOBASZ II study. This study was a cross-sectional study that looked at cardiovascular risks of 5146 subjects in Poland. Tea and coffee consumption was recorded by the 24-hour recall. Subjects who drank coffee were found to have a 17% lower odds of developing metabolic syndrome when compared to those that do not drink coffee. This effect should also result in a lower risk of obesity also.
The bottom line: Coffee lowers the risk of metabolic syndrome. This effect is likely due to the high antioxidant content.
