Raises a question worth testing. It does not answer one.
This is a narrative review proposing that coffee consumption may protect against fructose-induced metabolic alterations (obesity, type 2 diabetes, liver disease, cardiovascular disease, and dysbiosis) through mechanisms involving caffeine, chlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid. The authors explicitly state that current human evidence is limited and that clinical relevance of experimental findings requires confirmation through well-designed clinical trials.
Journal article. Pediatric and adult populations; review scope not restricted by age or clinical setting..
Coffee and bioactive compounds (caffeine, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid) have attracted attention for potential health benefits Fructose intake from sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with increasing prevalence of obesity and non-communicable diseases in pediatric and adult populations Coffee consumption may represent a potential protective dietary factor against fructose-induced metabolic alterations including obesity, type 2 diabetes, liver disease, cardiovascular disease, and gut microbiota alterations
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
This review identifies a mechanistic hypothesis but does not provide evidence sufficient to recommend coffee consumption for metabolic disease prevention. Clinicians should await well-designed clinical trials before counseling patients on this basis.
This is a narrative review synthesizing mechanistic evidence and experimental models; it raises the question of whether coffee protects against fructose-induced metabolic disease but acknowledges that human evidence is limited and clinical relevance remains unconfirmed.

What is missing. This record has no reported figures. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages worldwide. Coffee and its bioactive compounds, including caffeine, chlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid, have attracted increasing attention because of their potential health benefits. Evidence from pediatric and adult populations supports a positive association between fructose intake from sugar-sweetened beverages and the increasing prevalence of obesity and other non-communicable diseases. In this context, coffee consumption may represent a potential protective dietary factor against high fructose intake-induced metabolic alterations, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, liver disease, cardiovascular disease, and alterations in gut microbiota composition. Therefore, this review summarizes current evidence on the potential role of coffee consumption and coffee-derived bioactive compounds in modulating fructose-induced metabolic alterations and discusses the mechanisms involved. However, current evidence from human studies remains limited, and the clinical relevance of the beneficial effects observed in experimental models requires confirmation through well-designed clinical trials.
