Coffee Prevents Diabetes?

Yes, it's true:

Moderate consumption of caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes in middle-aged and younger women, according to a new report.

... In general, higher coffee consumption, both caffeinated and decaffeinated, was associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, the team reports in the medical journal Diabetes Care. The reduction in risk was 13 percent with one cup of coffee per day, and as much as 47 percent with four or more cups.
