Heavy coffee drinkers are at a lower (than non-drinkers or light drinkers) risk of developing type II diabetes. According to the article the Finnish are the most excessive drinkers of coffee, per capita, world wide.
Coffee's good, mkay?
Of course, drinking 10 cups of coffee a day can lead to a host of other problems.
If you're drinking coffee you're not drinking pop. It's all the sugar we are consuming. If we ate/drank less of it, there'd be less diabetes.
could very well be the reasoning behind the results. But, if I'm not drinking coffee, I'm drinking water.
Drinking coffee before exercising is helping to reduce the fat.
(I want to know the effects of tea.)
finally lil'k posted some good news. at leastone of my habits may actually do me some good.
I don't drink either, just water, tea and juice - which is almost as bad as pop, but not quite.
Littlek, I wonder if it helps with those who already have type 2 diabetes? I fall into that category.
Some of the other articles listed were really interesting, such as gay rams and the possible benefits of smoking. So much to learn, so little time...
There's probably more sugar in my coffee than in my pop.
I don't drink coffee for two reasons. One, don't usually like the taste. I'm too cheap to buy the expensive stuff, and when I drink the less expensive brands, it's laced heavily with creamer and sugar/sweetner.
Two, I'm trying to cut my caffiene dependance. Right now, I'm down to two excedrine a day (130mg), and I don't drink caffienated pop anymore. Sigh. I miss my Pepsi. Been drinking a lot of sprite.
But good news indeed for those that drink a lot of coffee.
I've seen littlek when she was drinking niether coffee nor water...
Re: Aaaah coffee.... Another good reason to drink it.

my dad used to drink 60 cups of coffee a day and smoke, and his kidneys had hell to pay.
