Re: SOY: West Price Foundation Tragedy and Hype:

So, you really do like a discussion H.

Your comment that...........
"Yes, which is why unlike you I actually read the studies"

Are you confrontational or what? Actually dear H my findings were from reading the actual studies.
Wrong again: I do not rely on newspaper articles but the actual studies themselves. Picking and choosing would be a more accurate way of describing any results/conclusions to fit your own particular paradigm, or preconceived notions and dogma.

For example re' Diabetes WebMD. Unless you know better than Frank Hu, MD, MPH, PhD, nutrition and epidemiology professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, reports that the data on coffee and type 2 diabetes is "pretty solid," based on more than 15 published studies.

"The vast majority of those studies have shown a benefit of coffee on the prevention of diabetes. And now there is also evidence that decaffeinated coffee may have the same benefit as regular coffee,” Hu tells WebMD.

In 2005, Hu's team reviewed nine studies on coffee and type 2 diabetes. Of more than 193,000 people, those who said they drank more than six or seven cups daily were 35% less likely to have type 2 diabetes than people who drank fewer than two cups daily. There was a smaller perk -- a 28% lower risk -- for people who drank 4-6 cups a day. The findings held regardless of sex, weight, or geographic location (U.S. or Europe).

More recently, Australian researchers looked at 18 studies of nearly 458,000 people. They found a 7% drop in the odds of having type 2 diabetes for every additional cup of coffee drunk daily. There were similar risk reductions for decaf coffee drinkers and tea drinkers. But the researchers cautioned that data from some of the smaller studies they reviewed may be less reliable. So it's possible that they overestimated the strength of the link between heavy coffee drinking and diabetes".

Happy reading.
