Abstract
The association between coffee consumption and the risk of diabetes mellitus is far from being definitively established. The relationship between coffee intake and health may be influenced not only by the presence of bioactive substances in coffee (which, moreover, have opposite effects on glucose metabolism, for example) but also by the way the beverage is prepared (filtered, boiled, express, instant, natural or darkroastedâ¦),which affects its final composition. The relationship between coffee consumption and other dietary and health-related factors (alcohol intake, smoking, physical activity, even the habit of taking an afternoon nap) may also be of influence. These factors may have a direct effect on the aspects of health influenced by the components of coffee.
