Coffee continues to dazzle its fans with positive health surprises after a recent study showed that drinking 3 or 4 cups a day reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes by 25 percent.
This came during a scientific symposium organized by the Institute of scientific information on coffee, during the annual meeting of the European Society for the study of diabetes, which was held in the German capital Berlin recently.
A report by the Institute highlighted the potential role of coffee consumption in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Professor Matthias Carlstrom reviewed the latest scientific research and analyzed more than 30 studies and research presented during the European meeting, involving more than 1.1 million participants.
Carlsström concluded that eating 3 or 4 cups of coffee per day was associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes by about 25 percent, according to the British newspaper Mirror.

A third study found that the amount of caffeine found in 4 cups of coffee helps to ensure great protection of the arteries of the heart, so older people should accept the beverage as more prone to diseases of the circulatory system.
A fourth study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, said that coffee has an effective role in protecting against the risk of premature death, while noting some of the known medical benefits of a widespread drink, such as prevention of heart disease and reduction of cholesterol levels in the blood.
