So apparently this isn't anything new. There have been tests done before that have shown that drinking a few more cups of your morning Joe will lower your risk of type 2 diabetes. Now the question that is being posed is, " What if you decrease or increase the amount of coffee you consume over time, what will happen then?'' The results: Those who added one more cup of coffee to their daily lives had a 11% lower risk of getting Type 2 Diabetes, and those who decreased their intake by one cup a day had a 17% increased risk of getting Type 2 Diabetes. "As long as coffee doesn't give you tremors, doesn't make you jittery, it is associated with a lot of health benefits." says Shilpa Bhupathiraju a research fellow at Harvard's School of Public Health. Research also states that coffee is linked to longer life. BUT WAIT!!! Lattes and other specialty drinks laced with sugar were not tested in this experiment, only black coffee with 100mg of caffeine.
This is very interesting. Its cool to see that something that is so common can actually help us health wise. Unfortunately, I only drink Frappuccinos, Lattes, and Iced coffees that have a lot of sugar in them. And, I don't think that I would be able to drink more than 1.5 cups a day, I definitely would not be able to increase anything.

So the coffee bean, essentially, is what reduces the risk of Type 2 Diabetes, not so much the beverage that most drink that is prepared with cream and sugar...
ReplyDeleteEssentially yes. mainly the coffee bean, its the caffeine in the coffee bean that is crucial to the equation
