A report from the University of Minnesota says that coffee, especially decaffeinated, seems to offer protection against adult-onset diabetes. The experts believe that minerals and chemicals found in the coffee bean favorably affects blood-sugar levels and protect the pancreas from stress.
An earlier study done in Finland, which has the highest coffee consumption in the world, found that men and women who drank 10 or more cups of coffee per day had the lowest risk of adult onset diabetes. However, it seems to set at odds with their assertion that decaf is more favorable, because in Finland decaffeinated coffee is not widely consumed. Smart people!
So coffee can help guard against one of the meanest diseases there is? I’ll drink to that.
