Drinking lots of coffee and tea every day — even decaf — might keep diabetes away, new research shows.
In a review of 18 studies, researchers found that drinking three to four cups of coffee per day was associated with a 25 percent lower risk of diabetes than drinking two cups or less per day, according to Dr. Rachel Huxley of the George Institute for International Health in Sydney, Australia, and her colleagues.
There were similar results for decaf coffee and tea.
“If such beneficial effects were observed in interventional trials to be real, the implications for the millions of individuals who have diabetes, or who are at future risk of developing it, would be substantial,” the researchers concluded in the latest issue of the journal Archives of Internal Medicine.
