Caffeine Consumption May Reduce Type II Diabetes In Postmenopausal Women
A study published in the January, 2011 issue of Diabetes indicates that postmenopausal women who drink caffeinated coffee may have a reduced risk of type II diabetes. The study looked at women who drank at least 4 cups of caffeinated coffee per day compare to non-drinkers of caffeinated coffee. The drinkers level of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) was higher and this is what is believed to reduce the occurrence of diabetes. Decaffeinated coffee and tea had no association with SHBG. This being noted, there may be risks for drinking caffeinated coffee for some people such a heart rate problems and other side effects from too much caffeine.
