00:00A new study from Finland is shedding light on coffee's possible effects on the body.
00:04Researchers at the University of Ulu studied 2,264 people aged 46.
00:10They found that heavier coffee drinkers tended to have less total body fat.
00:15They also had less visceral fat and greater skeletal muscle mass.
00:19Interestingly, their body mass index, or BMI, was similar to other participants.
00:24Coffee intake was also linked to metabolic markers associated with insulin resistance.
00:28Researchers found stronger hormone-related differences among men.
00:33These included changes involving testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin.
00:37But scientists stress that the study shows associations, not cause and effect.
00:42Researchers are now investigating whether coffee itself causes these biological changes.
00:48More research is needed before changing dietary advice.
