Do Drinking Coffee and Tea Prevent Diabetes?
Melanie Haiken, Caring.com senior editor
People who drink several cups of coffee or tea a day -- even decaf versions -- can dramatically lower their risk of diabetes, researchers reported on Monday. Drinking three to four cups of coffee per day was associated with a 25 percent lower risk of diabetes than drinking no coffee or just one cup, researchers said.
And the more coffee or tea you drink, the greater the benefit -- so keep that pot filled. "Every additional cup of coffee consumed in a day was associated with a 7 percent reduction in the excess risk of diabetes," wrote Rachel Huxley, who headed a team of Australian researchers at the George Institute for International Health in Sydney, Australia. The study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
One reason this study is making headlines around the world is that the conclusions didn't come from just one study, but were the result of what's called a "meta-analysis" of 18 different studies, which together included more than 450,000 people.
hofu yangu ni hayo matumizi ya sukari maana kikombe kimoja ni vijiko vitatu. sasa kwa vikombe vinne ni sukari vijiko 12, kwa kila siku, si maradhi mengine hayo? wenye majibu tusaidieni
