An article in the December 14/28 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine conducted a meta-analysis which found that high intakes of coffee, decaffeinated coffee, and tea are associated with a reduced risk for type 2 diabetes.The meta-analysis covered 18 studies, enrolling a total of 457,922 participants, reporting on the association between coffee consumption and diabetes. Of these, 6 (N = 225,516) also reported estimates of the association between decaffeinated coffee with diabetes, and 7 studies (N = 286,701) also reported estimates of the association between tea and diabetes.
As a self-professed "generation 'bucks-er", I think any legitimate reason to not give up my morning cup of joe is all the reason I need. Huzzah!
