Researchers who analyzed previous studies involving thousands of participants found that people who drink more coffee, whether regular or decaf, appear to have a reduced risk of developing <strong>type 2 diabetes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Tea lovers may also rejoice. The same diabetes-reducing association was found for tea drinkers as well. The study results were published recently in <em>Archives of Internal Medicine<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-136343\" src=\"http:\/\/images1.blisstree.com\/files\/2009\/12\/coffee-drinking-diabetes.jpg\" alt=\"coffee-drinking-diabetes\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Researchers found that coffee drinkers enjoyed a 7% reduction in the excess risk of diabetes for each additional cup of coffee consumed in a day. Those who had three to four cups per day experienced 25% lower risk than those who consumed between zero and two cups of coffee each day.<\/p>\n<p>For decaffeinated coffee drinkers who drank more than three to four cups per day, there was a one-third lower risk of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/articles\/holiday-eating-tips-for-diabetics\/\">diabetes<\/a> compared to people who never consumed decaf. People who had more than three to four cups of tea had a one-fifth lower risk compared to non-tea drinkers.<\/p>\n<p>Since decaf also curbed diabetes risk, researchers believe that the link probably isn&#8217;t solely related to caffeine. The study authors commented that other compounds in coffee and tea, such as magnesium, lignans or chlorogenic acids, may also play a role.<\/p>\n<p>This study is timely as University of Chicago researchers recently projected that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/articles\/diabetes-cases-to-double-by-2034\/\">diabetes cases<\/a> could double by 2034.<\/p>\n<p>While this news sounds exciting, further research is needed before docs start prescribing coffee and tea. Plus, some people are more sensitive to the effects of caffeine and would need to consult with their physicians before increasing intake of coffee or tea.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of the association between reduced diabetes risk and coffee, decaf and tea?<\/p>\n<p>(Image via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sxc.hu\/photo\/1214624\">stock.xchng<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Post from: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\">Blisstree<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/articles\/coffee-decaf-tea-may-lower-diabetes-risk\/\">Coffee, Decaf &amp; Tea May Lower Diabetes Risk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally, here&#8217;s a study for coffee lovers everywhere!
