I was in the doctor’s office the other day and happened to pic up an article that said something along the of men who drink more than 6 or 8 cups of coffee per day reduce their risk of contracting type 2. As an avid coffee drinker and apologist, I find that comforting. Question: does anyone have info about this study, perhaps you know the name or have an article? Anything would be appreciated. I want to know more about this.
