"Further, insulin sensitivity improved in response to the very
low-carbohydrate diet reflecting reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes.
Overall, we observed improvements in body composition, fat distribution
and metabolic health in response to an eight-week, very low-carbohydrate
diet."
Calculating the reduction in worldwide deaths from liver cancer if the whole world drank more coffee
A team of researchers affiliated with multiple institutions across

calculating their numbers and explains why they believe governments
should begin encouraging people to drink more coffee.
