Published June 10 in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, the study specifically explored how bioactive compounds found in coffee may diminish diabetes risk. The research team from Pukyong National University and Kyungpook National University in South Korea looked at scores of cohort studies conducted over the past several decades to determine if and how these chemical compounds - and not merely lifestyle factors, such as exercise - may affect diabetes incidence.
