Feb 2012: Coffee and Metabolic Syndrome

New data from Matsuura et al. has highlighted how moderate coffee consumption is significantly associated with a lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome in men.

We would like to provide you with the following quote from Dr Euan Paul, Executive Director of the British Coffee Association about the implications of this study.

“This study adds to the growing weight of evidence which shows that moderate coffee consumption, of 4 – 5 cups a day, is safe and may lower the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in men. Further research is however required to fully understand these findings in the wider population. Pregnant women should moderate coffee drinking to 2 – 3 cups per day in line with guidance by the NHS.”
