Coffee clash
Study after study has shown antidiabetic effects of coffee. The March 10 Journal of the American Medical Association carries the latest epidemiological evidence—two European studies showing that people who drink 6 to 10 cups of coffee, primarily caffeinated, per day tend to develop type 2 diabetes at lower rates than individuals do who drink 2 or fewer cups a day.

For several years, scientists have been asking what constituent of java works to control blood sugar. Gradually, chlorogenic acids, a relatively minor family of chemicals in coffee beans, have emerged as prime candidates.

Subsequent test-tube studies showed that cinnamon in the pie was boosting insulin activity, as chromium does, and thus controlling blood glucose. The spice turned out to be the "best thing we ever tested" for that purpose, Anderson says.
