Coffee "reduces diabetes risk"
27 Jun 2006
High coffee consumption appears to reduce the risk ? in women at least ? of developing diabetes. Researchers at the University of Minnesota, in the US, have found that in study lasting 11 years that it is likely to be the antioxidants, rather than the caffeine, that has the protective effect. Indeed, they say, the risk was reduced the most in participants who preferred decaffeinated coffee. The results are published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
