According to new research caffeine may lead to the development of types 2 diabetes. The International Multidisciplinary Journal of Caffeine Science, a quarterly peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. publishers examine new evidence, which refutes earlier studies saying caffeine has a protective effect.
There are numerous studies that have demonstrated caffeine’s potential for increasing insulin resistance for people not having diabetes. This effect could make susceptible individuals more likely to develop the disease, according to James Lane, PhD, Duke University.
Studies have also shown in adults with type 2 diabetes the rise in levels of blood glucose that occurs after they consume carbohydrates is embellished if they also drink coffee.
Editor-in-Chief Jack E. James, PhD, School of Psychology, National University of Ireland says that the connection found between diabetes and caffeine beverages consumption is very important. This is especially true, when we know that more than 80% of the world’s population consumes coffee on a daily-basis.
Journal of Caffeine Research gives an authoritative source and central forum to advance knowledge of caffeine science and caffeine’s effects on human health. Its purpose is to be inclusive to the diversity of research techniques used for caffeine to be investigated. It will combine scientific research and clinical studies on caffeine.
The first issue of the Journal contains the broad scope of debate and research in this emerging clinical and scientific field. It involves an interview on “Caffeine Consumption and Combat Stress amongst Military Personnel,” and a discussion on “Caffeine, Alcohol, and Youth: A Toxic Mix,. Included are also articles on “Effects of Caffeine Consumption by Women and Men on the Outcome of In Vitro Fertilization,” “The ‘Buzz’ on Caffeine: Patterns of Caffeine Use in a Convenience Sample of College Students,” “Gender Differences in Subjective and Physiological Responses to Caffeine and the Role of Steroid Hormones,” “Loss of Coronary Dilation to N6-2-(4-Aminophenyl) Ethyladenosine in Isolated Hearts from Chronic Caffeine- and Nifedipine-Treated Rats,” “Energy Drink Use and Substance Use among Musicians, and so on. The journal will examine all the aspects of caffeine science, including the biochemistry of caffeine. This involves its human body actions; dangers; benefits, contraindications and more.
