<Summary>
We discussed coffee’s potential effect to Type 2 diabetes. Today 1 in 10 people in the US are diabetic. People with Type 2 diabetes have some troubles about controlling the amount of glucose because insulin doesn’t work well in their body. Diabetes implicates that there will be other damages to large blood vessels in the heart, brain, legs, kidneys, eyes and nerves. And the article we read said that coffee has possibilities to be a resolution to diabetes. More than half American adult drink coffee daily. Coffee includes many chemicals such as quinic acid or acetylmethylcarbinol and some specific ingredients in coffee might be able to cure diabetes. But it is not clear how it could. So the article strongly recommended studying the ingredients’ molecules.
<Opinion>
Almost every morning, I drink coffee because drinking coffee makes me feel calm and it’s also refreshing. So when I heard the news, I felt happy. However, I don’t think I will drink coffee more than now because there is not such a thing that has only good points. Everything must have both merits and demerits. Foods also must be one of the cases. For instance, having too many drinks that includes caffeine can lead to caffeine poisoning. As the article about bacon I read in this class said, everything should be moderate. If people eat normal foods moderately that can do a little harm to him/her, there would be no problems. Instead, I think we’d better not expect too much the effect of normal foods and eat them immoderately.
