I'm sitting here sipping the first cup of coffee of the day...the best one I might add, and read this little gem.
DRINKING coffee can substantially reduce the risk of developing diabetes, scientists have discovered. A major study involving more than 14,000 people in Finland, which has the highest rate of coffee consumption in the world, has revealed that those who drink most have the lowest incidence of adult-onset or type 2 diabetes. When people drank three to four cups of coffee a day, their risk of developing diabetes fell by 29 per cent for women and 27 per cent for men.
Now isn't that the best damn news I've read all year. I'm so glad I'm an addict.
I should be diabetes free also. Love my coffee.
Posted by: Grey Biker at March 10, 2004 06:10 PMLike most news, there is a whole lot of content missing with the way that item was worded. Is that with cream, sugar, honey? Or are we to assume it means black coffee. I heard this on the news but at no time did the item specify whether they were referring to black coffee or coffee with sugar. What kind research news is that?
Posted by: Roberta at March 10, 2004 07:55 PMI knew it! Okay, so two of my habits/vices have now been proven to be healthy. Pinot Noir and coffee. I'm holding out for the positive research on smoking.
