Last Updated: 2025/08/21, Drinking about 4 cups of coffee a day for a long time can inhibit harmful protein changes in the body and reduce the risk of diabetes by 50%. As a weekly selected paper of the American Chemical Society, the results of this research have been published on the home page of its official website, and have attracted wide attention from scholars at home and abroad and international media. For a long time, some people have found through experience that coffee drinking and diabetes have a low incidence.

Drinking about 4 cups of coffee a day for a long time can inhibit harmful protein changes in the body and reduce the risk of diabetes by 50%. The results of this research have been listed on the homepage of the official website of the American Chemical Society as "Weekly Selected Papers" and have attracted extensive attention from domestic and foreign scholars and international media.

There has long been empirical evidence that coffee consumption appears to be associated with a lower incidence of diabetes, but the mechanism by which coffee consumption reduces diabetes prevalence remains unclear. Huang Kun et al. found that there are two effective active ingredients in coffee, which can inhibit harmful changes in a protein that causes diabetes in the pancreas. Drinking more coffee may have a certain effect on the treatment and prevention of diabetes.

His research also showed that caffeine, which is high in coffee, has low antidiabetic activity, and that drinking decaffeinated coffee more should be better overall.

Professor Huang Kun said in an interview that many people like to add a lot of sugar, milk or coffee partners when drinking coffee, and these have certain negative effects on diabetes. Therefore, it is recommended to drink sugar-free, milk-free and fat-free black coffee as much as possible; in addition, a very strong anti-diabetic active ingredient in coffee is also rich in green tea, and drinking green tea often may also achieve the effect of inhibiting diabetes.

At the end of last year, Huang Kun and others published a paper in the journal Agricultural and Food Chemistry, a subsidiary of the American Chemical Society, entitled "The main component of coffee inhibits the harmful accumulation of human amylin: the link between coffee drinking and the incidence of diabetes," formally proposing this "insight."

Professor Huang Kun is mainly engaged in metabolic diseases and related innovative biotechnology drug research. He returned from the United States to Huazhong University of Science and Technology in early 2008 to work as "Excellent Talents in the New Century" of the Ministry of Education of China and "Chutian Scholar" of Hubei Province.

At present, Professor Huang Kun's research team is developing new anti-diabetic drugs based on this research. (End)
