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.”
