Coffee vs. Diabetes

This has been widely reported in the past few days. This particular quote is from Forbes:

"Drinking lots of coffee cut women's risk of developing diabetes in an 11-year study, researchers report. But it was the antioxidants, not caffeine, in the brew that probably did the trick.

In fact, diabetes risk was reduced most in participants who preferred decaffeinated coffee, the researchers said.

"In our study, for whatever reason, it doesn't look like caffeine has anything to do with it," said lead researcher Mark A. Pereira, an associate professor of epidemiology and community health at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.

His team published its findings Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine."
