A cup of tea lowers the risk of getting type 2 diabetes

Emperor | December 20, 2009

Coffee and tea drinkers are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes says a new study that was published in Archives of Internal Medicine. The study shows that people who have three or four cups of coffee or tea a day lower their risk of the type 2 diabetes by at least 20%. It is probably antioxidants like lignans and chlorogenic acids that are involved with this magic trick. One thing is for certain it is not the caffeine, because decaf coffee has the greatest effect.
