Copenhagen - People who put sugar in their tea or coffee greatly reduce the risk of gaining weight, according to a Danish study of 5 200 men, the daily Jyllands-Posten said on Monday.
"To our great surprise we found that there were significantly fewer obese people, or more thin people, among those who take sugar in their coffee or tea than those who don't," professor Finn Gyntelberg at Copenhagen's Bispebjerg hospital told reporters.
Gyntelberg said the results were so far "mere observations" and stressed that further studies were needed to determine whether the combination of coffee and sugar activates hormones that reduce appetite.
The results of the study were published in the most recent edition of the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation.
Gyntelberg and other researchers studied data from 5 200 men in Copenhagen in a study started in the 1970s to examine the links between obesity, alcohol, tobacco, physical exercise and coffee.
