FDA Approved Prescription Drugs online - FDA approved prescriptions Coffee Might Help Fight Against Diabetes An 11 year study that looked at 29,000 older women for signs of diabetes concluded that women who drank more than six cups a day of any type of coffee were 22 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who didn't drink 6 cups a day. Type 2 diabetes is the kind that occurs in adult life. Women who drank that much decaffinated coffee had even less of a tendency towards diabetes. They were 33% less likely to develop into Type 2 diabetics. This led researchers to conclude that it was not the caffeine in coffee that helped fight against diabetes. They speculated that it was probably the anti-oxydants in coffee that led to the results. "In our study, for whatever reason, it doesn't look like caffeine has anything to do with it," said study head Mark A. Pereira, of the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. "When you get up to four or five or more cups per day, you might have very powerful antioxidant activity," he said. "That might be important for protecting the pancreas' beta cells from oxidant damage," he said. This study confirms the results of a number of other research projects. While coffee seems to have a positive impact in this area, and an even greater impact when it is decaffinated, researchers are not prepared to say without reservation what component of the popular beverage creates the beneficial results. Another candidate, according to some scientists is chlorogenic acid, which seems to slow the absorption of sugar by cells and have a positive impact on the long term functioning of the pancreas.
