Coffee is a fruit that has many distinct varieties that can all taste slightly different from one another. For years it's been reported that drinking coffee is bad for you if you have diabetes.

Those that drank 4 to 5 cups of coffee each day reduced their diabetes risk by 29%, while those that drank 1 to 3 cups of coffee each day had no benefit whatsoever. There were no results provided by drinking decaffeinated coffee.
