Coffee addicts just got another reason to love their morning cup of Joe.
Many people struggle with their weight during the holidays, but a new study may have found a solution (that doesn’t involve depriving yourself of Christmas treats). It turns out, drinking coffee will do more than just help you wake up early to deal with screaming kids on Christmas morning.
Scientists at the University of Illinois say that consuming caffeine can limit weight gain and cholesterol production, even while eating a diet high in fat and sugar, SWNS reports.
The researchers fed a group of rats a diet that consisted of 40 to 45 percent of carbohydrates and only 15 percent protein for four weeks. The animals were also given a tea rich in phytochemicals, flavonoids and amino acids. The amount of caffeine per serving ranged from 65 to 130 milligrams.
