Caffeine

January 23, 2007 by Patricia Setzer in Nutrition with No Comments

A study of 17,413 adults reported those drinking six or more cups of green tea or at least three cups of caffeinated coffee a day were 1/3 less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who drank just one cup green tea or coffee per week.

There is a catch, more than 500 mg dailly of caffeine has been linked to arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). one cup of coffee has 100mg caffeine and green tea has 35mg. So before you start drinking truck loads of coffee for your health check with your doctor to see how much caffeine is safe for you.
