Flavonoids as anti-inflammatory agents.

TL;DR: In vitro evidence of anti-inflammatory actions of flavonoids in vitro or in cellular models might be somehow of limited impact due to the non-physiological concentrations utilized and to the fact that in vivo flavonoid are extensively metabolized to molecules with different chemical structures and activities compared with the ones originally present in the food.

Coffee, Decaffeinated Coffee, and Tea Consumption in Relation to Incident Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis

TL;DR: An inverse log-linear relationship between coffee consumption and subsequent risk of diabetes such that every additional cup of coffee consumed in a day was associated with a 7% reduction in the excess risk ofabetes relative risk after adjustment for potential confounders.

Circulating markers of inflammation and atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: It could be shown that the majority of the studies which had investigated the role of markers for systemic inflammation, such as CRP, leukocyte count, serum fibrinogen and different cytokines, found elevated levels in patients with atherosclerosis and especially so in those with an unstable coronary disease.
