Coffee and Your Health

I wonder if the inverse correlation between type 2 diabetes and coffee is because coffee drinkers generally consume fewer sweets and have less of a sweet tooth?

I regret to inform you from personal experience that this is not the case.

> coffee drinkers generally consume fewer sweets and have less of a sweet tooth

Have you looked at the sugar content in a typical Starbucks drink? A lot of those contain 15 to 45 grams of sugar per cup.

Yes there are some people who make French press coffee and drink it with 0 sugar / cream but I'd say a lot of casual coffee drinkers aren't that health minded.

I drink quite a bit of coffee, I use an aeropress and will sometimes add a little heavy cream but generally drink it without adding anything. I never add sugar.

Isn't coffee and doughnuts a very classic combo?

Perhaps.

Another one is coffee and cigarettes.

That could be that nicotine causes you to metabolize caffeine quicker.
