00:00If you drink a lot of coffee, a brand new study just found it might be doing more to your
00:04body
00:05than you'd expect. Researchers tracked 2,264 adults from Finland's Northern Finland birth
00:11cohort and found that people drinking five or more cups of coffee daily had less body fat
00:16and greater muscle mass than light or non-coffee drinkers. Even at similar body weights,
00:22men who drank more coffee showed higher total testosterone, but also higher levels of a binding
00:27protein that lowers how much the body can actually use. Heavy drinkers also had lower insulin levels
00:33and improved insulin sensitivity overall. Lead researcher Luca Veroest says science still knows
00:39surprisingly little about how coffee affects metabolism and hormones. The findings are
00:44observational, meaning researchers can't yet prove coffee directly causes these changes.
