Rob van Dam, a researcher in Pereira's team had discovered in 2003 that the chlorogenic acid in coffee is good for the body. He observes that chlorogenic acid can lower the absorption sugar by the cells. In this way, the risk of getting diabetes will be greatly reduced. Although, Van Dam admits that this area should be further explore by experimenting on humans to understand fully the benefits of
drinking coffee. With studies about the pros of drinking coffee in one's health, people are advised to drink and coffee not as a wake-up drink but for their own health as well.
