Java jolt for diabetes. (updates).(Brief Article)
The cup of coffee that helps millions of people get started in the morning--plus several more cups throughout the day--may help reduce the risk of diabetes, Dutch researchers say. Results of a surprising new study indicate that coffee drinkers are half as likely to develop adult onset diabetes, also known as type 2 diabetes.
Two scientists at Vrije University in Amsterdam said components in coffee seem to help the body metabolize sugar, thereby reducing the risk of diabetes, which affects 130 million people worldwide.
The study has caused quite a stir because caffeine is known to reduce the body's sensitivity to insulin, the hormone that diabetics need to treat their condition. But caffeine itself may not be the diabetes link. It could be other components in coffee--such as potassium, magnesium, chlorogenic acid and other micronutrients--that help prevent diabetes. In fact, the scientists suggest further studies may find that decaffeinated coffee provides the same benefit without the caffeine.
