Research now shows that coffee might decrease the risk of developing diabetes (or help diabetics?) by about 25 percent. But watch the sugar. Here's why.
Some coffee or tea drinkers like to add sugar to their coffee or tea. By doing so, according to the information, they don't get the protective blood sugar effect, and may run a higher risk of developing cancer of the pancreas. The risk of developing pancreatic cancer is related, in part, to the amount of sugar in the diet.
People who drink soft drink or syrup-based sweet drinks twice a day or more have a 90 percent higher risk of getting cancer of the pancreas than those who never drink them. This information came from RealAge.com. The article also said that some people may be sensitive to caffeine's effects, so you may want to avoid it. But even if you aren't sensitive to caffeine, you may want to limit yourself to two or three cups of black coffee a day. At least that's what my doctor says.
