A recent study conducted by scientists at Harvard University has revealed that drinking coffee may reduce an individual’s likelihood of developing type II diabetes. When comparing a large sample pool over a number of years, researchers noticed that people who increased their coffee drinking habits were 11 percent less likely to develop diabetes when compared to individuals whose coffee drinking habits remained static over the same period of time. The correlation between the two was underscored by test subject who decreased their coffee intake and became 17 percent more likely to develop the disease. Previous studies had suggested a relationship between the chemical compounds of coffee and diabetes, but the Harvard study, published in the European journal Diabetologia, was the first to focus directly on changes in consumption rates.
