Nicholas Bakalar reporting for the New York Times writes 2 positive choices for reducing type II diabetes. Is not writing about those who already have diabetes but those who may be trying to prevent it.
“Substituting just one serving a day of water or unsweetened tea or coffee for one serving of a sugar-sweetened soft drink or dairy beverage can significantly reduce the incidence of Type 2 diabetes, a new study has found.”
“Drinking sweetened tea or coffee did not change the risk for diabetes, and consuming those beverages without sugar lowered the risk. After an adjustment for all the variables, fruit juice had no effect on the risk of diabetes.”
When it comes to health ideas one study may contradict another. This particular study was large enough for an evaluation. There are health experts who would disagree with the conclusion of this study. The two recommendations cited here I think are good news and may help you make a simple adjustment that could prove beneficial.
As with all things concerning health follow your doctor's advice and your own personal awareness of the issues that you face.
Barb my wife, puts a lot of sugar in her coffee, but for most of us this study indicates sweet and coffee and tea is okay. Juices as well did not factor into raising the incidence of diabetes. Dairy beverages included milkshakes one of my many failures.
Can you find one opportunity to change a sugar drink with water, unsweetened tea or coffee? In so doing you can fight one of our three enemies diabetes. Overall it would probably help with the other two, cancer and heart disease. Keep walking
