Caffeine vs Type II Diabetes
OctaneZ writes "New research out of the Harvard School of Public Health indicates that coffee may lower your risk of Type II Diabetes. Men who drank 6 cups of coffee a day lowered their risk by 50%, while womens risk dropped 30%. The release also includes audio discussions about the suprising findings."
That's super news!
Being that there's coffee in Kahlua I can rest assured that when I have cirrhosis induced jaundice I won't have to suffer through the ravages of Type II diabetes!
oh.. there are only 2 Fs in "Caffeine", Taco. Please get it right when you dupe the story in 2 hours.
Trolling is a art,
men's risk of heart-attack raised 70% and woman's height decreased 25%
But caffeine also seems to make you jjjittery and ttype lettters multiple timess.
I heard that the more coffee you drink, the shorter your iPod's battery life is.

I drink so much coffee, the people around me must have a lowered risk of diabetes, just by proximity.

Cafffeine eh? The editor has had a few to many cups of cofffee me thinks
...and in a further study, the same researchers determined that ingesting two teaspoons of drain cleaner reduced the likelihood of old age related illnesses.
I seem to recall a slashdot story from about a year ago that claimed that drinking so much caffeine caused your testicles to shrink.
Aren't there other, more healthy ways to lower your risk of diabetes? Like exercise and eating right? Or is that one of those "things you are not allowed to say" on slashdot?

I thought it was just that the coffee killed them off so fast they didn't have time to develop the diabetes...
Stop by my site where I write about ERP systems & more
Coffee will reduce it IF you dont have 6 pounds of sugar, choclate syrup and other carbohydrates in it.
black coffee is the best, but reducing your carbohydrate intake along with it makes the biggest difference.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
Exactly. Dying of a heart attack renders you immune to any further diseases. In fact studies shows that dead people are 100% less likely to contract cancer, aids and diabetes.
"I drink so much coffee, the people around me must have a lowered risk of diabetes, just by proximity"
you increase their risk of anxiety...
"Aren't there other, more healthy ways to lower your risk of diabetes? Like exercise and eating right?"
Hey, this is the USA, does that exercise/eating right thing come in pill form?
It is by the juice of the coffee bean that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains. The stains become a warning
So what about those of us that dump tons of sugar in their coffee? Would that negate the whole thing?
;)
C'mon, I can't be the only one here who has been asked if they want some coffee with their sugar and cream.
[Veins popping] STFU you pencil-necked freak!! I'll rip your head off!! GAAAAAAHHHH!!
Our intelligent designer has never created an animal that we couldn't improve by strapping a bomb to it.
I'll tell you why coffee helps prevent diabetes and maybe with weight loss, after 6 cups of coffee a day you'll be spending most of your day walking back and forth to the bathroom and straining your bladder during meetings. There's your exercise.

Yeah, if he'd eaten differently he would never have fallen on the ice.
Actually, diabetes is one of the major causes of heart disease.
And coffee is not. It has yet to be shown conclusively that moderate coffee drinking by healthy adults causes any problems whatsoever.

Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
Yes but you're more likely to suffer from fungal infections and parasitic infestation. It's not all a bed of roses being dead, you know.
Who the hell do you think you are complaining that we coffee drinkers are angry! Why don't you get off your FSCKING high horse, you god-damned pissant. You can take your whiney little opinions about angry coffee drinkes and stick them where the sun doesn't shine! Bloody health food eating, toad sucking, argument for post-natal abortion.
I think they'll discover that the benefits actually came from all the constant pissing, or perhaps the exercise gained from all the trips to the bathroom.
Employing hard-to-do quantitative trait loci (QTL) methods, he and his colleagues have identified several polymorphisms in the tumor-suppressor gene Atm as possible suspects in the movement of mouse mammary tumors to the lungs.

... ... or Chemotherapy?
But caffeine, an Atm inhibitor, may prevent that movement, the researchers have found. "The interaction of what might be subtle variants of genes with common environmental exposures may have critical effects on cancer survival as well as incidence,"
