So you run a study and correlate coffee consumption with type 2 diabetes. You find a correlation between time of consumption and type-2 diabetes and what do they report?
Real Age reported on their website that: "In a study of women, having black decaf or regular coffee with lunch seemed to reduce diabetes risk better than having the brew at other times of the day." Pretty clearly a causal interpretation. Lest you hope this is just the realage.com interpretation, here is some of what they reported the study's authors had to say, "The researchers weren't exactly sure why lunchtime coffee seemed to have the most favorable effect on diabetes risk, but they suspect that chlorogenic acids in coffee may somehow slow down glucose absorption from the small intestine into the blood stream. And that effect may have been especially helpful for the women in the study, because lunch tended to be their largest meal of the day." http://www.realage.com/tips/the-coffee-hour-thats-best-for-blood-sugar I verified that this same interpretation is quickly spreading through the internets! :) Tim _________________________________________________________________ Timothy O.
