Caffeine could protect against diabetes

... people who drank more than six cups of green tea per day had a 33 percent lower risk of diabetes, compared to people who drank less than one cup per week. Drinking three or more cups of coffee per day was associated with a 42 percent lower risk of diabetes.

New research from Japan suggests that people who drink lots of green tea or coffee every day could lower their risk of diabetes by 33 percent - a result linked to caffeine content.
