Coffee cuts diabetes risk
November 8 2002
People who drink lots of coffee run a far lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, the disorder that has reached epidemic proportions in the industrialised world, a study says.
Individuals who drink seven or more cups of coffee a day are 50 per cent less likely to develop this form of diabetes than counterparts who drink two cups or less.
The evidence comes from a database of the health and lifestyle of 17,000 Dutch men and women, assessed by the Netherlands' National Institute for Public Health and Environment.

The good stuff in red wine is some stuff that comes from the skin of red grapes. It helps prevent bad cholesterol from forming and raises the good cholesterol level.
Only one glass a day is required to get this effect. Getting pissed on red wine is not needed, and infact, the negatives from doing that outweigh the positives from the wine.
But wine is full of calories with little nutritional value, so if you don't drink red wine already, starting now might end up causing weight gain which isn't good for the heart.

Well, I suppose that's one way of looking at it.
Or you can say that nicotine withdrawal causes feelings of panic and smoking a cigarette restores the levels of nicotine and the withdrawal symptoms (including panic) subside.
Once you quite smoking and get over the addiction you get the normal, unpanicked feeling all the time. Though, if you do still get panic attacks, there's obviously a bigger problem that probably should be addressed and not masked by drugs.

That article is exactly what i was thinking about last night.
I'm not a scientist or anything but i reckon drinking 7 cups of coffee a day can't be good for ones heart, liver, insomnia etc.
pft, type 2 diabetes is probably the least of my worries anyway.

Yesterday I googled to find some sources of everything bad I've heard about coffee (ie, you may not get diabetes, but that's because you die of cancer first..). *Every single article* I found related to health and coffee basically said the following:
* no convincing link has been found between coffee and any form of cancer, osteoporosis, coronary heart disease, digestive problems, aggravation of anxiety disorders, insomnia or fertility problems.
* it is not classed as an addictive substance although some excessive coffee drinkers may experience withdrawal effects for up to a week when they stop drinking it.
* convincing links have been found between moderate coffee consumption (about three cups a day) and reduction of risk of colon cancer and diabetes, improvement of asthma symptoms, improvement in concentration and alertness...
* coffee is higher in antioxidants than green tea, which may potentially lead to further beneficial effects. (The role of antioxidants in slowing the aging process is still relatively new, so little research has been done as of yet)
So - wow. Cool. As usual I guess it's everything in moderation.
Including moderation?...
