Regular, moderate coffee consumption may decrease an individual’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to research highlighted in a report published by the Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee (ISIC).

In type 2 diabetes condition, unroasted coffee beans were found to control the elevated blood sugar levels and body weight, say researchers. Their presentation on chlorogenic acids — widely available as a dietary supplement — was part of the 245th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world’s largest scientific society, being held here this week.

Bottom line: We don’t yet know if green coffee bean extract might aid in weight loss. This is a good example of evolving research that got out of control because of media hype. Green coffee bean extract surged in popularity when Dr. Oz promoted it as a miracle weight loss product on his TV show. Critics took Oz to task over this bold suggestion. The good doctor then set up his own experiment with 100 female volunteers who took green coffee extract and reported losing 2 pounds in 2 weeks.

To plant food, insect repellant and other homespun uses for spent coffee grounds, scientists are adding an application that could make the gunk left over from brewing coffee a valuable resource for production of dietary supplements. Their new report in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry concludes that used coffee grounds are a rich source of healthful antioxidant substances.

Green coffee bean extract seems to be the weight management flavor of the moment, but there is solid science behind the ingredient, an expert says, adding that’s why it landed on the Dr. Oz Show recently.

Drinking three cups of coffee a day could reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a study by Florida-based researchers.

We are aware that green tea has antioxidant properties. A study indicates that green coffee bean extract is helpful for those who want to get rid of their excess weight. Green coffee protects you from visceral fat accumulation by its antioxidant property.

Did You Know that a salt water flush does a superior (and inexpensive) job at detoxifying your colon than a colonic irrigation procedure? Perhaps youve heard the saying: Death begins in the colon. Indeed, as toxic debris from inadequate and infrequent elimination gathers in the colon, it produces poisons that can slowly, but surely, cause disease and, consequently, death.

It is unfortunate that American doctors have contended for decades that the number of bowel movements an individual has is unrelated to health. They have convinced most of us that they are correct. Most people think that they are not constipated if they are having one bowel movement a day. Yet, we eat three meals a day. Where are the other two meals going if they’re not being eliminated through the colon? The answer actually is somewhat frightening.

Colon cleansing is a process of body detoxification that helps eliminate and purge all accumulated waste matter and toxins. It sluices the colon clean of all built up noxious wastes and promotes optimal functioning of the body. Erratic lifestyle patterns, erroneous dietary habits, no exercise and desk-bound jobs and stress, adversely affect our health. Experts say, a colon cleanse, from time to time, can effectively manage, as well as prevent various lifestyle linked disorders and also enhance overall fitness.
