In reply to caffeine and depression, posted by helpme on July 10, 2006, at 10:48:51
Discussing caffeine is kind of complicated since coffee contains more substances like anti-oxidants. I read in my daily paper about a study on coffee drinking and diabetes. It showed that coffee reduces the risk of diabetes. The interesting thing was that decaffed coffe reduces the risk much more. So in a way caffeine blocks other beneficial substances in coffee.
The reason is probably because caffeine will increase blood sugar and consequently stress beta-cells in the pancreas.
