Why Coffee Protects Against Type II Diabetes http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1543/why-coffee-protects-against-type-ii-diabetes/ Researchers have known for years that drinking coffee reduces the risk of type II diabetes as we noted in our article, More Organic Coffee Can Lead to Less Diabetes. Now researchers have identified a specific bioactive substance in coffee that stimulates insulin secretion and sugar uptake by muscle cells. The report is in the Journal of Natural Products. Cafestol, a Bioactive Substance in Coffee, Stimulates Insulin Secretion and Increases Glucose Uptake in Muscle Cells: Studies in Vitro Diet and exercise intervention can delay or prevent development of type-2-diabetes (T2D), and high habitual coffee consumption is associated with reduced risk of developing T2D. This study aimed to test whether selected bioactive substances in coffee acutely and/or chronically increase insulin secretion from β-cells and improve insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle cells. Insulin secretion from INS-1E rat insulinoma cells was measured after acute (1-h) and long-term (72-h) incubation with bioactive substances from coffee. Coffee, Coffea arabica Benth. (Rubiaceae) and Coffea canephora Benth. (Rubiaceae), contains a diversity of bioactive components that varies with coffee species and the roasting and brewing methods.(8-10) The large number of substances includes methylxanthines (especially caffeine), diterpenes (like cafestol and kahweol), the lignan secoisolaricresenol, phenolic acids (e.g., caffeic-, ferulic-, chlorogenic- and quinic acid), trigonelline, minerals, and degradation products. The specific substance in coffee that stimulates insulin secretion and subsequent uptake of sugar by muscle cells is cafestol. A related compound, caffeic acid has similar effects.

Coffee, Coffea arabica Benth.
(Rubiaceae) and Coffea

contains a diversity of bioactive

(especially caffeine), diterpenes

How Much Cafestol Is
in Your Coffee?

14. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1543/why-
coffee-protects-against-type-ii-diabetes/
Since cafestol can be
instrumental in fighting type II
diabetes how much of the stuff is
in your coffee?

15. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1543/why-
coffee-protects-against-type-ii-diabetes/
According to the researchers
roasted Arabica coffee beans
contain 0.5% caffeic acid while a
cup of coffee contains 35 to 175
mg of caffeic acid.

16. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1543/why-
coffee-protects-against-type-ii-diabetes/
Boiled coffee, Turkish coffee and
French press coffee contain 6 to
12 mg of cafestol while filtered
coffee contains only 0.2 to 0.6
mg of cafestol.

17. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1543/why-

It turns out that the paper filter
traps and retains the majority of
the cafestol when brewing
coffee. In addition lighter roasts
have more cafestol then darker
roasts according to Science
Direct.

18. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1543/why-
coffee-protects-against-type-ii-diabetes/
The extraction yield of cafestol
from roast and ground (R&G)
coffee beans was evaluated
using brews prepared by four
brewing mechanisms (boiled,
Turkish, French Press and
Mocha Pot).

19. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1543/why-
coffee-protects-against-type-ii-diabetes/
The cafestol content of the R&G
coffee and the resulting brews
was measured and extraction
yield calculated.

20. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1543/why-
coffee-protects-against-type-ii-diabetes/
The R&G coffee had an average
cafestol content of 603 mg/100 g
R&G coffee with a slight
reduction at higher roast
intensities.

21. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1543/why-
coffee-protects-against-type-ii-diabetes/
In the brews, preparation method
had an impact on cafestol
concentration with French,
Turkish and boiled preparation
methods producing the highest
cafestol concentrations.

22. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1543/why-
coffee-protects-against-type-ii-diabetes/
The extraction yield of cafestol
was shown to be dependent on
the brew mechanism and
roasting time, with the lightest
roast coffee prepared by French
press or boiled preparations

23. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1543/why-
coffee-protects-against-type-ii-diabetes/
having the highest cafestol
extraction yield (6.5% and
5.84%) and dark roast Mocha
and Turkish preparations had the
lowest extraction yields of 2.42%
and 2.88% respectively.

So, if you want to avoid getting
type II diabetes drink coffee and
if you really want to avoid type II
diabetes

25. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1543/why-
coffee-protects-against-type-ii-diabetes/
consider the French press
method or even the old farm
kitchen method of boiling the
grounds on the stove and letting
them settle before serving.
