Could you provide a source for these claims? As is, the studies mentioned
are unknown - no reference to who produced the studies, where they were
done and how they were conducted.

This is relevant because of the diabetic population among the blind
community.
Coffee has been shown to lessen the risk of some of the country’s most
common illnesses. Moderate coffee consumption – one to three cups a day –
have been associated with a lower risk for heart attacks, especially in women.
Some studies have shown a lower risk for cancers like endometrial,
prostate and some breast cancers. And coffee has also been linked to a lower risk
ofParkinson’s disease.
It’s also been shown to lower your risk of diabetes.
“Most of our research has been on diabetes – there are 35 studies now on
coffee and diabetes,” van Dam says. “These have been quite consistent –
people drinking more coffee have a lower risk of diabetes. It is remarkably
consistent. It’s hard to imagine another factor that coffee drinkers have
that would be so effective.”
And it may help reduce the risk for developing depression.
Women who drank two or three cups of coffee a day were 15 percent less
likely to develop depression when compared to women who drank just one cup a
day, one study found.
The answer is, as the answer often is: You be you. If you don't like
coffee, the evidence of its benefits isn't strong enough for nutrition
scientists to recommend that you start drinking it. If you do, the evidence of its
harms isn't strong enough for them to recommend that you stop.
“If you like coffee and you don’t have a specific health condition – you
can just kind of enjoy your coffee, regularly, as you like it,” van Dam
says. “It’s fine to drink three, four, five cups of coffee a day, at least
based on what we have found on the research available.”
