Coffee intake linked to lower diabetes risk

Coffee consumption linked to lower diabetes risk drinking coffee, especially if it decaffeinated, is associated with a reduced risk for type 2 diabetes, according to a report in the Sept 26 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA / Archives journals. The link between coffee and diabetes risk appears to be very consistent across different ages and body weights, in addition, most research has found that the more coffee an individual drinks, the lower his or her risk for diabetes. But it remains unclear whether it is the caffeine or another ingredient in coffee, may be a protective effect. Mark A. Pereira, Ph.D., and his colleagues at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, had studied coffee intake and diabetes risk in 28812 postmenopausal women in Iowa over a period of 12 years. At the beginning of the study, in 1986 the women answered questions about the risk factors for diabetes, including age, body mass index, physical activity, alcohol consumption and smoking different story. They also reported how often they consumed a variety of foods and beverages over the previous year, including regular and decaffeinated coffee. Based on this information in the first questionnaire, about half of women (14224) drank one to two cups of coffee per day 2876 drank more than six cups; 5553 four to five cups, 3232 less than a cup, and not 2927. In the 12 years following the 1417 women reported on surveys that they still had newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. After adjusting the data for some of the other diabetes risk factors, women who drank more than five cups of coffee each type per day were 21 percent less likely than those who drank no coffee to be diagnosed diabetes, those who drank more than five cups decaffeinated coffee per day had a 32 percent reduction in risk compared with those who drank none. Overall caffeine intake is not too much associated with diabetes risk, suggesting that some other ingredient in coffee was responsible. " magnesium, for which the coffee is a good source, can explain some of the inverse relationship between coffee consumption and risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus known for helpful effect on carbohydrate metabolism ", write the authors. However, the study found no link between magnesium and diabetes risk. Other minerals and nutrients in the coffee bean also compounds known as polyphenols, which have also shown to help the body process carbohydrates and antioxidants that may protect cells in the pancreas produce insulin can contribute to its beneficial effects and must be examined future studies .
