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?

- hprotagonist 8y agoI regret to inform you from personal experience that this is not the case.
- coldtea 8y agoIsn't coffee and doughnuts a very classic combo?
- sshine 8y agoPerhaps. Another one is coffee and cigarettes.
- rhinoceraptor 8y agoThat could be that nicotine causes you to metabolize caffeine quicker.
- xiphias 8y agoIt's not nicotine but polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons of tobacco that induce the CYP1A2 enzyme (which is the most important enzyme for caffeine metabilization).
- nacs 8y ago> 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. https://news.starbucks.com/uploads/documents/nutrition.pdf https://news.starbucks.com/uploads/documents/nutrition.pdf
