Coffee and green tea could lower the death risk for Type 2 diabetes sufferers — but only if they drink a certain amount, according to a new observational study published in the online journal BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care.
For the study, which was peer-reviewed, researchers tracked the health of some 4,923 people in Japan with type 2 diabetes for about 5 years. Participants — 2,790 were men, and 2,133 were women — filled out a questionnaire that involved 58 questions about their food and drink habits, including how much green tea and coffee they drank each day. Participants were also asked to provide information on how often they exercised and if they smoked or consumed alcohol, and how much sleep they averaged each night, among other lifestyle inquiries.
