Introduction
Coffee drinkers may be getting more than just an energy boost from their daily cup, according to new research out of Finland.
The Findings
A Finnish study found that people who drank more coffee tended to have less total and abdominal fat, more lean muscle mass, and healthier metabolic markers overall compared with those who drank less.
Why Coffee Might Help
Researchers point to compounds in coffee that may influence metabolism and fat storage, though they caution that the study shows an association rather than definitive proof that coffee itself causes these metabolic benefits.
What It Doesn't Mean
The findings shouldn't be read as encouragement to load coffee with sugar and cream, since those additions can offset any potential metabolic benefits associated with coffee itself.
What Comes Next
As with most nutrition research, larger and longer studies are needed to confirm the relationship and better understand which specific compounds in coffee may be responsible for the observed effects.
