COFFEE CUTS DIABETES RISK

  According to researchers in Greece, moderate coffee consumption is associated with a reduced risk of having diabetes, it was announced recently.

The findings come from a study of 500 men and 437 women, (aged 65 to100 years) from Crete and other Mediterranean islands.

Of the 937 subjects, 84 percent reported drinking coffee. All were asked about the type of coffee consumption of the past year, and most drank boiled as opposed to frappes.  The subjects reported drinking coffee for at least 30 years.

Compared with individuals who did not drink coffee, those who drank 1-2 cups a day had a 53 percent lower risk of having diabetes, after adjusting for potential confounders.

The prevalence of diabetes was not associated with greater coffee consumption. The association of coffee drinking with diabetes was significant only among non-tea drinkers, the report stated.
