(CBS) Looking for another reason to justify your daily latte? A new study suggests that coffee may guard against diabetes.

The study, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, shows that coffee improves insulin sensitivity and helps prevent the development of high blood sugar - at least in lab mice.

If you think you're experiencing déjà vu, it could be because numerous studies have linked coffee - both caffeinated and decaf - with reduced risk not only of diabetes, but also of Alzheimer's disease and prostate cancer.

One 2004 study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, showed that the risk of developing type 2 diabetes was as much as 35 percent lower in people who drank four cups of coffee a day.

Pretty convincing stuff. ...........(more)

9. You might try darker roasts if you don't already

Darker roasts are lower in acid than lighter roasts and there's even some evidence that suggests that a chemical present in coffee that prevents your stomach from producing more acid is higher in dark roasted coffee.

10. The 3 cups and no more does fine

Used to drink a pot every morning. It almost killed me. Had to be rushed to the emergency room via ambulance. They thought I was having a heart attack. When the doctor told me it was acid reflux rather than a heart attack I remember being so relieved until he told me that the acid reflux could have killed me.

Thanks for the advice.
