Here is an interesting health tip that will interest those who like coffee and tea. Is seems that coffee and tea drinkers have a lower risk of developing Type
2 diabetes than others.
BBC Health reported that they have looked at 18 separate studies and found that people who drink 3-4 cups a day cut their risk by a fifth. Is that good news or what?
What is Type 2 diabetes? This is a form of diabetes where the body is not able to produce sufficient insulin as opposed to cases where the body is unable to produce any insulin. It could also be that the insulin produced does not seem to work as required.
This identification of the active component in tea and coffee opens up new therapeutic options.
