To Avoid Diabetes Enjoy a Good Cup of Joe

To avoid diabetes, enjoy a good cup of  joe! That is the finding established in the first animal study to determine the link between caffeine and diabetes.

The study, led by Japanese researchers from the Nagoya University in Japan, appears in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry.

Other studies of people have found a correlation between coffee consumption and a reduced risk of diabetes. This new study was conducted to see if there was a direct link between coffee and diabetes.

The researchers gave mice diluted black coffee instead of water. The coffee drinking mice were then compared to a group of water drinking mice. It was found the coffee given the caffeine drinking mice stopped the increase of high blood sugar and also increased insulin sensitivity in the mice which caused the reduction in diabetes.

Next, the researchers did another experiment comparing plain water with caffeinated water. Again, the caffeine drinking mice wound up with less fat than the other mice. The caffeine group also had a lower concentration of blood glucose.

The researchers noted the findings “suggest that coffee consumption may help to prevent type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome”.

Millions of Americans have type 2 diabetes and millions more are at risk of developing it. Diet and exercise are important factors in warding off diabetes and according to this new study, to avoid diabetes, enjoy a good cup of joe!

Indoor Sun Tanning May Be Sign of Addictive Behavior

Indoor sun tanning may be a sign of addictive behavior according to a new report released Monday.

Researchers say as many as one in three young people who use tanning beds could be addicted to them.

229 college students were screened by using two standard questionnaires designed to assess addiction and modified to assess tanning behavior. 39%  met one measure’s criteria for addiction and 30% met the other measure’s criteria.

Catherine E. Mosher, a post-doctoral research fellow in psychiatry and behavioral science at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York and the study’s lead author said the tanners were aware of the increased risk of several types of skin cancer for both indoors and outdoor tanning.

“They know it’s bad for them,” Mosher said. “This is not about appearance. It’s for relaxation, to improve mood or to socialize.”

Of those scoring positive for addiction, 78% said they had tried to cut down on the time spent tanning but couldn’t, and 78% said they felt guilty about using tanning beds or booths too much.

The study is published in the Archives of Dermatology.

The findings that indoor sun tanning may be a sign of addictive behavior suggests that tanning, either natural or indoors, activates the same parts of the brain triggered by drug dependence.
