Increased coffee consumption results in a substantially reduced risk of diabetes.
The prestigious journal The Lancet published a 2002 population study that included over 17,000 people. The researchers found 50% lower risk of diabetes among those who consumed 7 cups of coffee a day compared to those who only drank 2 cups a day.
So why not just drink more coffee?
Coffee “beans” are the seeds contained inside the plant’s fruit, the coffee berry. They possess a significant higher proportion of beneficial phenolic acids (50%) than the berry (about 35%).
An analysis of the proprietary green coffee bean extract used in clinical studies cited in this article reveals that just 350mg supplies the same amount of chlorogenic acid found in 14 cups of dark roast coffee. The problem with dark roasted coffees is that the roasting process removes too many beneficial polyphenols such as chlorogenic acid.
SoZo®/CoffeeBerry® Functional Beverage
The foundational ingredient in SoZos’® formulation is CoffeeBerry®. CoffeeBerry® is the trademarked name for patented process that uses not only the green coffee bean but also the complete coffee fruit. CoffeeBerry® contains 80% chlorogenic acid by weight. One 3oz dose of SoZo® contains 224mg chlorogenic acid.
At 15,000 ORAC/gram CoffeeBerry® is the highest antioxidant fruit ever tested by the USDA. ()

Blood Sugar Surges
High blood sugar is fast becoming the leading preventable killer of mature individuals in the United States. In addition to 26 million Americans with diabetes, the Centers for Disease Control estimate that more than a third of the general population is now pre-diabetic.
This may be just the tip of the iceberg.
Recent data confirms that risk for most degenerative diseases and death rise dramatically when fasting blood glucose exceeds 85mg/dL.
Yet the medical establishment persists in defining readings up to 99mg/dL as “safe”. By this measure, virtually all of us are vulnerable to diabetic complications.
Even more alarming is widespread physician ignorance of the stealth danger posed by blood sugar surges after meals that reach diabetic levels and last for hours-our even days.
