Coffee bean extracts alleviate inflammation, insulin resistance in mouse cells ▫️During coffee processing, the bean is separated from the husk, the external outer layer of the bean. After the bean is roasted, the silverskin layer is separated. ▫️A recent study, published in Food and Chemical Toxicology, shows that when fat cells of mice were treated with water-based extracts from coffee beans skins, two phenolic compounds - protocatechuic acid and gallic acid - in particular reduced fat-induced inflammation in the cells and improved glucose absorption and insulin sensitivity. ▫️The findings show promise for these bioactive compounds, when consumed as part of the diet, as a strategy for preventing obesity-related chronic illnesses, such as Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
