The findings support previous studies indicating people who drink four or more cups of coffee a day have a 50% lower risk of getting type II diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is a rough disease. Once bitten, a lifelong maintenance hassle results. Those most at risk are genetically predisposed, overweight, or smoke. A full 66% of obese people eventually get the disease, and about 15% of healthy people are affected.
The medical costs are astounding. Today, about $155 billion is spent treating diabetes, and with the obesity epidemic hitting the US, costs will double. The entire debate over medical costs are dwarfed by the double-threat of obesity and the side-effect of diabetes on an aging population.
