Although several large studies have previously shown that coffee drinkers have lower rates of diabetes, this study was novel in that it followed large cohorts of people who changed their coffee or tea intake, and then followed their actual diabetes …

More good news for your Monday Morning…

Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Chai lattes being my favorite, but cinnamon, earl grey, camomile, peppermint… love them all.
