The association among high consumption of coffee to obesity and diabetes type 2

Drinking coffee could decrease the weight suddenly

Do you like consuming coffee every morning? Well, coffee is one of the most consuming beverage around the world. Currently, coffee has been produced by several methods and this beverage has been developing regarding to its serving and taste. However, chronic consumption of coffee could lead to several diseases including obesity and diabetes type 2. How can coffee could do it?

Do not be shocked first, some urban legends may have suggested us that coffee only affects our stomach and heart because of the caffeine and certain acid compounds within it. However, we must elaborate the containing of coffee and what effects can be provided by coffee to our body.

Inside the seed of coffee, there are natural bioactive phytochemicals. The large amounts of bioactive phytochemical which is contained inside coffee is polyphenols [1]. This chemical compound is well-known effective to give big effect on physiological and molecular pathways including metabolism and obesity. Polyphenols commonly can be found in the plant and it has been considered as antioxidants for people who want to lose weight.

Many studies have been reported that coffee contains large amount of polyphenols including proantocyanidins, xhantones, catechins, and chlorogenic acids which can significantly reduce serum lipid content [1]. However, highly-consumed of coffee could lead to weight gain as the glycaemia increases which can lead to high-risk of type 2 diabetes [2]. According to the study, the gaining of weight to the mice occurred when the mice was given regular coffee whether it contains normal caffeine or additional caffeine. This implies that the effect of caffeine did not relate on the body weight.

Another surprising report was in the genetic associations with the body mass index. Technically speaking, for parents who are chronically consuming coffee could deliver their obese gene to their offspring implying the delivering obesity caused by higher coffee consumption [3]. The last two reports suggested that highly-consumed of coffee commonly can cause obesity which can be delivered to the offspring.

However, how can coffee could gain the drinkers’ weight? It lies on the adipose tissue which was affected by the presence of coffee. This adipose tissue is related to the storage system of triglycerides which can be used by the body when it is needed. When we drink the coffee, the polyphenols reduce serum of lipid content and hepatic content [1]. So, what if the serum is reduced?

The triglyceride is a fat that is contained on the blood. Sometimes this fat is used to produce hormone, and sometimes it is needed to be converted into energy replacing the glucose content. Therefore, after drinking coffee, the content of triglycerides is reduced suggesting the losing of energy resources. As a result, the body feels hungrier and implies the drinkers to eat even though they have finished eaten before.

High-consumption of coffee could decrease lipid content including the triglycerides which is located on the adipose tissue. Low content of triglycerides leads human to overproduce the thyroid hormone. Consequently, the drinkers will increase their appetite, the sleep problems, fatigue, and they will suddenly lose their weight. This hyperthyroidism is resulted because of the losing of triglycerides.

To conclude, high-consumption of coffee could be dangerous for human because it can cause hyperthyroidism which can increase the appetite. Furthermore, obesity will be occurring leading to many complications which include heart attack and diabetes type two.
