Coffee May Reduce Risk of Type 2?

In a recently released study of an 18 year period Harvard Researchers followed a large group of men and women who did not start off with Type 2 Diabetes. Every 2-4 years they would answer questions like 'caffinated or decafe?' and how much they drink. Over the years it showed that men who drank more then six cups of coffee a day cut their risk in half while women who drank six cups or more lowered theirs by 30%. The American Diabetes Association says more studies should be done on this before they tell people to just go and start drinking gallons of coffee. I would have to agree with them. This could be a fairly big thing to study in the upcoming years about whether or not coffee has an affect on your chances of getting Type 2.
