Could Coffee Help You Dodge Diabetes?

So maybe coffee is good for you? Just don’t overdo it.

Red wine is also good (in moderation). Just please don’t get carried away

Not many years ago, the general opinion was that coffee was probably bad for you. But now a study finds that drinking coffee, especially when it is decaffeinated, may be associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, according to a report in the current issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.

Overall caffeine intake did not appear to be related to diabetes risk, further suggesting that some other ingredient in coffee was responsible. “Magnesium, for which coffee is a good source, could explain some of the inverse association between coffee intake and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus through known beneficial effects on carbohydrate metabolism,” the authors write. However, the study found no association between this mineral and diabetes risk.Other minerals and nutrients found in the coffee bean-including compounds known as polyphenols that have also been shown to help the body process carbohydrates and antioxidants that may protect cells in the insulin-producing pancreas-may contribute to its beneficial effects and should be examined in future studies.
