And now it\u2019s been proven to improve and even prevent type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n
A new mega-study spanning 3 decades and following more than 120,000 men and women was released out of the Harvard School of Public Health\u2019s Nutrition Department.<\/p>\n
What they found was that men and women both exhibited reduced risk in developing type 2 diabetes from drinking one to two cups of black coffee daily.<\/p>\n
The study also found that the risk was more dramatic in women than in men.<\/p>\n
Coffee has already been shown to dramatically cut the risk of many cancers, including prostate, breast, and digestive types. It also has proven to be effective against depression, back\/neck\/jaw pain, and premature brain aging.<\/p>\n
Researchers and experts note, though, that adding dairy products, corn syrup-based flavorings, and other sources of sugar and fat eliminate the benefit by adding other risk factors; so plain, black coffee is the way to go to receive the maximum benefit.<\/p>\n
