Other substances in coffee that is trigonelin (pro vitamin B3) is also thought to help slow the absorption of glucose.

* Heart disease and stroke. Coffee consumption does not increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. In contrast, coffee actually slightly reduce the risk of stroke. A study of more than 83,000 women over the age of 24 years showed those who drank two to three cups of coffee a day had a stroke risk 19% lower than those who drank no coffee. Studies of a number of men in Finland showed similar results.
    
* Cognitive function. Study of 4197 women and 2820 men in France showed that drinking at least three cups of coffee a day can prevent decline in cognitive function due to aging of the brain up to 33 percent in women. However, similar benefits are not found in men. This may be because women are more sensitive to caffeine.
