Spreading to TV

A TV chef's new goal is to reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes by teaching people how to make healthier good tasting food. I think this is a good idea, if people can associate healthy and good tasting then the risk for a lot of people would be way lower.

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.

In a recent study children 12-18 with a body mass in the 85th or higher percentile were evaluated for how likely they were to get type 2 they also evaluated parents. I think this is a good thing to do, make sure the parents and children are both aware of the risks.

Type 2

In recent studies of Type 2 in Elderly people it has shown the same symptoms as Alzheimer. Loss of memory, coordination, thoughts, etc. More studies should be looked into to help this symptom. Having the same symptoms as Alzheimers makes it harder for elderly people, while there are already high numbers of Alzheimers plus Type 2 diabetes causes many problems.
