Drinking an extra cup of unsweetened coffee each day was associated with a reduced risk of gaining weight over a four-year period, a study found. Nutritionists weighed in with thoughts.
Adding an extra cup of unsweetened coffee each day was associated with a reduced risk of gaining weight over a four-year period, according to a study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition on Oct. 1. The benefit, however, was canceled if a person added a teaspoon of sugar to the hot beverage. Adding 'cream or non-dairy coffee whitener' did not have an effect on weight, the published report said.
Researchers from the Department of Nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, collected data from three prospective cohort studies: the Nurses’ Health Study , the Nurses’ Health Study II and the Health Professional Follow-up Study . The research zeroed in on the relationship between coffee consumption habits and body weight changes during four-year increments. Participants completed questionnaires about the foods and beverages they consumed.
