More good health news for coffee drinkers
More support for the believe that moderate coffee consumption can be good for you in warding off type 2 diabetes and even some cancers. [From Reuters]
There's evidence...that the beverage may protect against certain types of colon cancer, as well as rectal and liver cancer, possibly by reducing the amount of cholesterol, bile acid and natural sterol secretion in the colon, speeding up the passage of stool through the colon (and thus cutting exposure of the lining of the intestine to potential carcinogens in food), and via other mechanisms as well.

Don't worry if you don't drink coffee, there are benefits of drinking tea as well.
One final note concerning coffee is that there is some indication that coffee may increase the risk of leukemia and stomach cancer and that people who may be vulnerable to these risks -- for example pregnant women and children - should limit consumption.
