Economic Report: Coffee cuts back chances for Type 2 diabetes

Economic Report:
Tossing back a cup or two of coffee every morning could help reduce your risk for Type 2 Diabetes. According to the New York Times, a systematic review of coffee studies published in the Journal of American Medical Association showed that the antioxidants in coffee slow cell damage that typically causes the development of Type 2. People who drink four to six cups a day were 28 percent less likely to contract the disease.
