I don't know how they established correlation between coffee drinking and diabetes. If it's just statistically here's a couple more statictics: "Finland has the largest reindeer population per Type 1 diabetics. It is therefore probable that proximity to reindeers increases one's chances to get Type 1." "Finland has the largest wooden outdoor toilets per Type 1 diabetics. It is therefore probable that shitting or pissing at an outdoor toilets increases one's chances to get Type 1." "Finland has the most decrepit old soviet Lada cars per Type 1 diabetics. It is therefore probable that driving around in a cranky, rusty Lada increases one's chances to get Type 1." "Finland has the most useless studies in diabetes per Type 1 diabetics. It is therefore probable that shelling taxpayer money to self-serving, non-important studies actually increases one's chances to get Type 1." -------------------------- To reply via email remove letter "G" from email address: [email protected]

The people I know who drink a lot of coffee, don't eat so much, i.e. when most of us are having a snack they are having just coffee, and they commonly have nothing but 2-3 cups of coffee instead of breakfast. I have noticed my coffee drinking friends aren't overweight either. Coincidence?
I don't cuss but, why in the hell did I get T2? I love my real coffee. Besides chocolate, coffee is next in line for blood transfusion for me. Hee hee Could it be by chance that both of my parents were T2? Another study gone down the drain.

I have noticed my > coffee drinking friends aren't overweight either. > Coincidence? Are they taking their coffee black? Or putting lots of stuff in it? One of my friends used to rarely eat, but she drank a lot of coffee. She never drank it black though. She put a ton of sugar and cream in it. She also drank a lot of beer. The regular kind, not the light stuff. I think because of this, she was feeling filled up and didn't think she needed to eat. When she did eat, it was mostly sweets like cookies or pudding. After having to get dentures from too many rotted teeth, and being hospitalized more than once from caffeine overdose, she finally amended her ways. I haven't seen her for a few years because I no longer live in that area, but mutual friends have seen her and they say she looks a lot better now that she's eating more normally. She used to look like a skeleton. Not healthy at all. -- Type 2 http://users.bestweb.net/~jbove/

Currently I use caffine kind of like an occasional drius if i have to be very unsleepy, like long auto rips. Wendy

Dumb and useless study. It's possible the Finnish do something *else* right. Virtually every other country than America gets more exercise. Fast-food may not be as prevalent in Finland. But whatever else they do right I'm sure coffee has nothing to do with it.

Things might have changed since then, but they were a very somber people. Rarely laughed or smiled. -- Type 2 http://users.bestweb.net/~jbove
Any person who is able to drink 10 cups of coffee without getting terminally wired has a very low level of cortisol hormones. Diabetes correlates with higher levels of cortisol hormones. So this is like saying that "eating caviar makes you rich" rather than "eating caviar is a characteristic of people who are rich." People who can slug down 10 cups of coffee probably aren't going to get diabetes, but if you are going to get diabetes and you try to drink 10 cups of coffee you are going to feel so lousy that you probably won't do it again. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years.
