Coffee and reductions in Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).

 It goes without saying how uncomfortable we are with the number of people in the US and other countries who are developing diabetes.  In addition to the set up for cardiovascular compromise it also provides the perfect soil for cancer development.  This meta-analysis study reviewed how coffee consumption may affect diabetes.  Available evidence indicates that coffee consumption is inversely associated with risk of T2D. Possible mechanisms behind this association include thermogenic, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory effects; modulation of adenosine receptor signaling; and microbiome content and diversity.
