8. Link to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes
Some research suggests that drinking coffee regularly might lower the chance of getting type 2 diabetes in the long run. In fact, a review of 30 studies found that each cup of coffee people drank every day was linked to a 6 percent lower risk of getting type 2 diabetes.
This is thought to be because coffee keeps the beta cells in your pancreas working. These cells make insulin, which controls how much sugar is in your blood. Plus, it has a lot of antioxidants and may affect insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and metabolism, all of which are linked to the development of type 2 diabetes.
