The medical term “metabolic syndrome” describes the combination of

  • Diabetes,

  • High Blood Pressure, and

  • Obesity.

 Obesity is defined as having a BMI in the range 30-39.9.

Assistant Professor Giuseppe Grosso of the Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee (ISIC) in a November 2019 study and Associate Professor Estefania Toledo reviewing the evidence in the SUN (Seguimiento University of Navarra) cohort study (n=22,000), found, “moderate coffee consumption [defined as drinking one to four cups daily] was associated with reduced risk of [metabolic syndrome] whilst higher intakes were not. This was reported for both regular and decaffeinated coffee.”
