Coffee is not necessarily a bad thing but you do know what they say about too much of a good thing, as a coffee lover myself I recently found this video very insightful.

It is NOT SAFE to say that coffee can "protect your body from diabetes". Ask a Registered Dietitian, or check out the website of the American Diabetes Association:
"There have been several large research studies indicating that drinking coffee may play a role in preventing type 2 diabetes. However, other research has also shown that coffee intake can increase blood sugar in the short term. People with Type 1 diabetes may see a rise in blood glucose after drinking coffee alone. More research is needed on the effects of coffee in individuals with diabetes, but it can be enjoyed in moderation."
