According to recent studies, coffee does not cause gut inflammation. In fact, coffee may even help to reduce inflammation in the gut.
previous studies had suggested that coffee might increase gut inflammation, but these studies were based on observational data and could not prove causation. The new study, however, is a randomized controlled trial, which is the gold standard for proving causality.
In the new study, researchers gave one group of participants coffee with added caffeine and another group decaffeinated coffee. They then measured markers of gut inflammation in both groups. The results showed that there was no difference in gut inflammation between the two groups.
This study provides strong evidence that coffee does not cause gut inflammation. However, it's important to note that this study was only conducted on a small number of people and more research is needed to confirm these findings.
