Pooling two Italian case-control studies with 688 pancreatic cancer cases and 2,004 controls, researchers found coffee drinkers 34 percent more likely to have the disease. They doubt a causal link, since risk did not track with dose or duration. Decaf and tea showed no link.

More evidence shows drinking coffee cut type 2 diabetes mellitus risk
Among 69,532 French women, drinking more than one cup of coffee a day was tied to 27% lower diabetes risk, an association found only in lunchtime drinkers. A separate UCLA study reported women drinking four cups daily had higher SHBG and were 56% less likely to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

Here is why drinking coffee cuts type 2 diabetes risk
UCLA researchers report in Diabetes that coffee raises blood levels of sex hormone-binding globulin, a protein long thought to play a role in type 2 diabetes. In their data, women drinking more than four cups a day were over 50% less likely to develop the disease than non-drinkers.

Tea, coffee don't cut breast cancer risk in black women - study
Boston University researchers tracking 52,062 women in the Black Women's Health Study recorded 1,268 breast cancers over 12 years and found no significant link to tea, coffee or caffeine. Four or more cups of tea a day tracked with 13 percent lower risk, but not significantly.

Drinking Coffee May Cut Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Risk
Among 1,141 American Indian adults with normal glucose tolerance followed 7.6 years, those drinking 12 or more cups of coffee a day had 67 percent lower risk of type 2 diabetes. A significant reduction showed up only at that level of consumption.

If You Drink Coffee Make Sure it is Organic
At least 10 percent of Mesoamerican coffee growers have gone back to chemical fertilizers and pesticides in three years as the organic price premium stopped covering higher costs and smaller yields. Mercola blames the three-year wait for certification and the small organic market.

Coffee health news: Caffeine drinking linked to less severe liver fibrosis
Among 177 chronic hepatitis C patients undergoing liver biopsy, those consuming about 308 mg of caffeine a day, roughly 2.25 cups of coffee, had milder fibrosis. Each extra 67 mg tracked with 14% lower odds of advanced fibrosis; caffeine from tea showed no such effect.

Coffee consumption linked to lower diabetes risk
A review in Diabetology and Metabolic Syndrome found 14 of 18 cohort studies reported substantially lower type 2 diabetes risk among frequent coffee drinkers, and an Australian meta-analysis put three to four cups a day at 25 percent lower risk. The reviewers say it is too early to advise coffee.

Coffee, tea may reduce diabetes risk
A meta-analysis of about three dozen studies covering 457,000 people found an inverse association between coffee drinking and type 2 diabetes, with risk falling for each additional daily cup. The article cautions these are associations and coffee drinkers may differ in other ways.

Coffee and tea reduce diabetes risk
Pooling 18 studies of 457,922 people, researchers found those drinking three to four cups of coffee a day had about a 25 percent lower risk of type 2 diabetes, with each extra cup linked to a 7 percent reduction. Heavy tea drinkers had about a fifth lower risk.

Coffee, tea may help prevent diabetes
Pooling 18 studies of 458,000 people, Rachel Huxley's team found each extra daily cup of coffee linked to 7% lower diabetes risk, with similar reductions for decaffeinated coffee and tea. The studies were observational and do not show that coffee prevents diabetes.

A roundup of short items on prostate cancer risk: exercise, sunlight and vitamin D, and green tea have each been linked to lower risk, red and processed meat to higher risk, and the piece calls coffee's reported benefit controversial.

Drinking coffee may lower advanced prostate cancer risk
Harvard researchers following 50,000 men found those who drank the most coffee were 60 percent less likely to develop aggressive prostate cancer than men who drank none. Caffeine showed no association, and which components might protect remains unknown.
