" Natural substances found in green (unroasted) coffee beans may help people to control their blood sugar levels, a new study suggests. Researchers at the University of Scranton in the US enrolled 56 men and women with normal blood sugar levels to assess the impact of various doses of green coffee extract. Participants took 100mg, 200mg, 300mg or 400mg of extract each day, with glucose tolerance tests carried out to determine their responses. Analysis revealed that all doses of green coffee extract produced a significant reduction in blood sugar, according to lead researcher Dr Joe Vinson. &amp;#039;A simple natural pill or capsule that would both help control blood sugar and foster weight loss at the same time would be a major advance in the treatment of type-2 diabetes,&amp;#039; said Dr Vinson. The expert added the substances called chlorogenic acids, which are found in coffee, are thought to explain the effects and may help to &amp;#039;prevent diabetes and improve glucose control in normal, pre-diabetic and diabetic people&amp;#039;. Presented at a meeting of the American Chemical Society, the findings could have important implications, as there are currently about 2.9 million people living with a diagnosis of diabetes in the UK.
