There has been much talk of the results of a study in the coffee news recently and it all has to do with the relationship between coffee and diabetes.
The report was published by a not-for-profit organisation, which is dedicated to the study of the relationship between health and coffee: it is called the Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee.
So what has this Institute discovered?
It seems that there may be a link between reducing the development of type 2 diabetes and drinking a moderate amount of coffee.
For the purposes of this article, moderate coffee drinking equates to about three or four cups of joe daily.
The results of research have indicated that the levels of reduction in the development of the disease are around 25%, when compared to consumption of less than two cups per day.
Other research projects calculated things in a different way for every additional cup of coffee consumed daily, the likelihood of risk was cut by 7 to 8%.
Despite these encouraging beginnings, there is still more investigation to be done before the relationship between coffee and diabetes can be pronounced in more detail for instance, the causal effect is not certain.
As such, it’s onwards and upwards in terms of coffee research, but these thoughts provide interesting ideas in the meantime, don’t they?
