Abstract
Despite the abundance of research examining the effects of coffee, tea, and alcohol on inflammatory diseases, there is a notable absence of conclusive evidence regarding their direct causal influence on circulating inflammatory cytokines. Previous studies have primarily concentrated on established cytokines, neglecting the potential impact of beverage consumption on lesser-studied but equally important cytokines. Information regarding the consumption of coffee, tea, and alcohol was collected from the UK Biobank, with sample sizes of 428,860, 447,485, and 462,346 individuals, respectively. Data on 41 inflammatory cytokines were obtained from summary statistics of 8293 healthy participants from Finnish cohorts. The consumption of coffee was found to be potentially associated with decreased levels of Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (β = −0.57, 95% CI −1.06 ~ −0.08; p = 0.022) and Stem cell growth factor beta (β = −0.64, 95% CI −1.16 ~ −0.12; p = 0.016), as well as an increase in TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (β = 0.43, 95% CI 0.06 ~ 0.8; p = 0.023) levels. Conversely, tea intake was potentially correlated with a reduction in Interleukin-8 (β = −0.45, 95% CI −0.9 ~ 0; p = 0.045) levels. Moreover, our results indicated an association between alcohol consumption and decreased levels of Regulated on Activation, Normal T Cell Expressed and Secreted (β = −0.24, 95% CI −0.48 ~ 0; p = 0.047), as well as an increase in Stem cell factor (β = 0.17, 95% CI 0.02 ~ 0.31; p = 0.023) and Stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha (β = 0.20, 95% CI 0.04 ~ 0.36; p = 0.013). Revealing the interactions between beverage consumption and various inflammatory cytokines may lead to the discovery of novel therapeutic targets, thereby facilitating dietary interventions to complement clinical disease treatments.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (EJCN) is an international, peer-reviewed journal covering all aspects of human and clinical nutrition.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Nutrition and Health (including climate and ecological aspects)
Metabolism & Metabolomics
Genomics and personalized strategies in nutrition
Nutrition during the early life cycle
Health issues and nutrition in the elderly
Phenotyping in clinical nutrition
Nutrition in acute and chronic diseases
The double burden of ''malnutrition'': Under-nutrition and Obesity
Prevention of Non Communicable Diseases (NCD)
