CLA study conducted by researchers at the University of Oulu (Finland) found that individuals who consume coffee regularly tend to have lower total and visceral fat, and higher skeletal muscle mass, compared to those who drink less coffee, despite having a similar body mass index (BMI). The research, published in the European Journal of Nutrition, analyzed data from 2,265 participants aged 46 years from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort of 1966. It examined how regular coffee consumption relates to circulating metabolites, cardiovascular risk markers, and sex hormones. In men, higher coffee intake was associated with more favorable glucose-insulin profiles, higher levels of total and bioavailable testosterone, and increased sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), while free testosterone and free androgen indices were slightly lower. In women, hormonal associations were more limited, characterized mainly by higher SHBG and lower levels of free androgens. The study notes that these findings suggest potential hormonal pathways explaining the relationship between coffee consumption and metabolic health, though it emphasizes that the observational nature of the study does not establish caus性
Bias read (Center): The article presents scientific findings without overt ideological framing. While it discusses health implications related to coffee consumption, which could be seen as a cultural or lifestyle issue, the focus remains on empirical data and academic research rather than political advocacy.
