Scientists have announced that drinking coffee has another magical effect
Diabetes is currently one of the most popular diseases in the world, with about 380 million diabetes patients around the world.
Every year, heart diseases caused by diabetes will kill nearly 80,000 people.
For patients with type 1 diabetes and 2 diabetes, insulin injection is an important part of their daily life. However, although insulin injection is an effective treatment, it is not perfect.
Because you need to inject every day insulin to maintain your blood sugar level, it is not only troublesome, but also easy to forget.
But the good news that can benefit countless diabetic patients is: the efficacy of insulin may be replaced by coffee in the future!
According to the report of Daily Mail , researchers at the ETH Zurich, Switzerland are studying a brand new treatment for diabetes.
The key to the new treatment is: coffee.
Research team found that if a kidney cell detects caffeine component in the bloodstream, it will produce insulin in an indirect way.
Then, they conducted an experiment in 10 diabetic mice. When the mice drink coffee, their body controls blood sugar concentration better than ordinary mice!
Research team said that humans also have similar kidney cells in their bodies, and the specific mechanism of insulin production needs to be further determined.
In fact, the results of this experiment are by no means groundless. A study conducted by Harvard University in the United States on 126,000 people showed that people who often drink coffee have a lower risk of type 2 diabetes.
This study has brought hope to many diabetic patients. Perhaps future diabetic patients can promote insulin production by simply enjoying a cup of coffee and completely eliminate the need for additional injections!
In addition, there are many benefits of coffee from the perspective of the medical community.
In fact, from reducing the risk of death, to reducing the risk of certain cancers and diabetes, to reducing the risk of depression and Parkinson's disease, coffee has always been the "dear" of medicine, but you don't know.

Coffee can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer
A recent study reported by Stephanie L. Schmit of the Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center of the University of Southern California, USA, at Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev, has deepened the love for coffee - coffee can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by 26%.
This is a population-based epidemiological study of colorectal cancer molecule in northern Israel. The investigators developed a proven, semi-quantitative questionnaire for the frequency of coffee intake for 5145 patients with colorectal cancer and 4097 healthy people without a history of colorectal cancer.
study data showed that after correcting known risk factors, moderate (1 to 2 servings a day) coffee consumption can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by 26%. And with the increase in coffee consumption, the risk of colorectal cancer gradually decreases, which is obvious in both colon cancer, and rectal cancer.
was surprised! Caffeine didn't work alone. Researchers said, " coffee contains a variety of ingredients that promote colorectal health. Caffeine and polyphenols have antioxidant effects. Black sperm-like can promote colon peristalsis, and diterpenes can resist oxidative stress damage."

coffee reduces cancer recurrence rate in patients with colon cancer
coffee reduces cancer recurrence rate in patients with colon cancer
Danna-Farber Cancer Researchers once published a study in the Clinical Oncology Journal , saying that drinking coffee regularly can significantly reduce tumor recurrence and improve the survival rate of patients with stage 3 colon cancer.
This study followed up 953 colorectal cancer patients who received chemotherapy for dietary patterns over 6 months. They found that patients who drank four cups or more coffee a day (cafédie content about 460 mg) were 42% lower than those who did not drink coffee for cancer. During the follow-up period, those who regularly drank four cups or more coffee were 33% less likely to die from cancer or any other cause than those who did not.
and further analysis showed that the lower cancer risk was caused by the patient's absorption of caffeine, rather than the amount of other ingredients of the coffee.
04
Coffee reduces the risk of liver cancer
Research scholars from the Ministry of Clinical Science and Public Health, University of Milan, Italy, Mario Negri Institute of Pharmacology, Milan, published a report in the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, saying that intake of any type of coffee may reduce the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by 50% (the reduction depends on the intake).
This report examines 16 studies conducted between 1996 and 2012, with a total of 3153 cases. Researchers said that the positive effect of coffee in preventing liver cancer may be attributed to the well-known effect of in preventing diabetes, and diabetes is one of the factors that cause liver cancer; there is another possibility that coffee can prevent cirrhosis , which has a beneficial effect on enzymes in the liver.
05
Coffee reduces the risk of melanoma
Research published on January 20, 2015 in The National Cancer Institute Journal of the National Cancer Institute showed that drinking more than four cups of coffee a day in can reduce the risk of skin cancer by 20% in ten years.
This study comprehensively observed 447,000 subjects, involving 124 food questionnaires. The subjects were aged 50 to 71 years old and did not suffer from cancer at the beginning of the study. Over the course of more than a decade of research, more than 2,900 subjects developed malignant melanoma and more than 1,900 subjects developed another skin cancer: melanoma in situ.
excludes factors such as age, diet, family history, etc., and only considers the relationship between caffeine-containing coffee and melanoma. More than four cups of coffee per day can reduce the risk of skin cancer by 20% in ten years.
Theoretically, various ingredients in coffee have been shown to affect a considerable number of molecular pathways that can reduce the risk of skin cancer associated with UV light. But such a large sample study conducted with humans as the subjects is still very convincing.
06
coffee can inhibit breast cancer growth
researchers at Skane University Hospital of Lund University in the UK published the results of the study in the journal Clinical Cancer Research, saying that for women diagnosed with breast cancer and treated with tamoxifen , drinking coffee can inhibit the growth of tumors and reduce the risk of recurrence.
This study targeted Swedish 1,090 patients diagnosed with primary aggressive breast cancer, and mainly evaluated two substances that usually occur in Swedish coffee: caffeine and caffeine and tumor characteristics and disease-free survival
The results of the study showed that among the at least 500 women treated with tamoxifen, women who drink at least two cups of coffee a day had a risk of breast cancer recurrence of half of those who drink less than two cups of coffee or do not drink coffee, and the tumor size is smaller and the proportion of hormone-dependent tumors is lower.
Researchers believe that caffeine and caffeic acid can lead to hinder cell cycle progression and enhance cell death , enhancing the effect of tamoxifen treatment.
07
3coffee reduces the risk of head and neck cancer
Aichi Cancer Center, Japan, investigates head and neck cancer in head and neck cancer. People who drink more than 3 cups of coffee a day have about 40% lower risk of head and neck cancer than those who drink less than one cup.
08
How much coffee should I drink every day?
coffee has many benefits, but there is a limit to everything. How much coffee is good to drink every day? No one's words are the final word, it's better to look at scientific research!
Professor Hu and colleagues at Harvard University School of Public Health conducted a large study that suggested that the risk of all-cause mortality in subjects who drink ≤1, 1-3, 3-5 and >5 cups per day decreased by 6%, 8%, 15%, and 12%, respectively. The decline in mortality rate of
is mainly related to the decrease in cardiovascular mortality, neurological disease mortality and suicide mortality. The study was published on November 16, 2015 in the journal Circular.
combined with some previous studies that reduce cancer risk, may be a good choice for 2 to 3 cups of coffee a day.
