The study, which observed more than 120,000 health professionals over a four year span, tracked the dietary habits of its subjects and compared the effects of both increased and decreased coffee consumption. Measurements were not based off the total number of cups drunk per day, but rather the relative rise or fall in consumption for each subject compared with when the study began.Nice. A large prospective study using health professionals. Mmmmmmmm, tasty.
Those who upped their intake by at least one cup per day were found to have reduced their risk of type 2 diabetes by 11% when compared with those who maintained a steady level of java ingestion. Conversely, those who decreased their intake by at least a cup per day were 17% more liable to contract the disorder.
