Decaf coffee cuts diabetes risk
UK (BBC News)
A large US study of 28,000 women found that more than six cups of decaf coffee a day was linked with a 33% lower risk of diabetes compared with no coffee.
There was a much smaller reduced risk in women who drank caffeinated coffee.
The 11-year-long study in Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that in contrast to other research, caffeine intake does not reduce diabetes risk.

Could Irish coffee be the perfect drink?
CHICAGO (Reuters)
Could Irish coffee be the perfect drink?
Researchers reported on Monday that drinking coffee cuts the risk of cirrhosis of the liver from alcohol -- by 22 percent per cup each day -- but they stopped short of saying doctors should prescribe coffee for that reason.
The report from the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program in Oakland, California, was based on a look at data from 125,580 people.
"These data support the hypothesis that there is an ingredient in coffee that protects against cirrhosis, especially alcoholic cirrhosis," concluded the report published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
