From November 11th through the 14th, the World Congress on Prevention of Diabetes and Its Complications is being held in Madrid, Spain. Research results will be presented showing that consuming three to four cups of coffee per day is correlated with about a 25% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Coffee and caffeine have also been associated with other health benefits such as preventing skin cancer, enhancing weight loss, reducing depression, and cutting the risk of prostate cancer.
Peet's Coffee & Tea, Inc. was recently taken over by Joh. A. Benckiser, a privately held group focused on consumer goods companies, for $73.50 per share in cash.
