[Nfbmo] more about the connection between coffee & diabetes

[Nancy Lynn]

I don't know. I just copied the article. I have no more authority or 
knowledge than what it says in the article.

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.”
