Coffee linked to lower diabetes risk?

PEOPLE who boosted their coffee intake by “moderate to large” doses in a US-based study had a lower risk for adult-onset diabetes than those with stable consumption, researchers said recently.

An analysis of studies that tracked the diet and lifestyles of more than 120,000 health sector workers showed that those who increased their daily caffeine dose by about 1.5 cups a day over a four-year period had an 11% lower chance in the subsequent four years of developing type 2 diabetes, the team found.
