I just discovered it after reading a back issue (Sept. 2007) of the Phil. Star, where your article about coffee possibly preventing diabetes was featured. I have made it my Home Page and just can’t get enough of the information you provide.

Too bad you’re based in Cebu. If you were in Manila, I would definitely recommend my mother & sister (who are diabetic) to see you. I am pre-diabetic myself so this website is very very useful.

Keep it up, Doc! You’re doing a great service to the community by providing all these info & even answering patient queries online.

Studies however have shown that the effect is diminished if coffee is taken with milk. So make sure you have milk in your cup of coffee!

thank you doc.
i read newspaper articles about the benefits of coffee too.
but we we’re also thought that caffeine can also increase the risk for osteoporises esp. post-menp. women.
i’m a little confused.

Doing and updating my website makes it more fun because of readers like you.

Your questions are great. Unfortunately… for now we dont have a consensus as to the number of cups of coffee to drink to achieve health benefits. We actually dont recommend a patient to drink coffee to decrease your risk for diabetes or to lose weight… as of now. It is just a plus finding in the studies I presented becuase we drink coffee for the fun and the relxation that we achieve by enjoying its aroma and taste. 3 in 1 Nescafe coffee that is sugar free is the one I enjoy at home too. I usually get the kaffe latte when am in office.

While enjoying your coffee while reading your newspaer… at least you have the added plus benefit of it filling you up without the added calories and with possible great benefits of lowering your chances to become a diabetic!

I’ve just been reading your website and i really find it very informative…for persons who are high-risk of getting diabetes, how many cups of coffee is allowed? If i want to lose weight, how many cups of coffee is allowed if i use the sugar-free 3n1 kind? Thanks a lot and God bless you for this informative site…i’m recommending this site to everyone dear to me.

Patients with hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid gland either with a nodule or a goiter are recommended not to take coffee since caffeine can exacerbate the palpitation associated with the hyperthyroid state. Other than that… a simple colloid nodule should not be a factor for you not to enjoy your coffee.

I heard from someone that if you have a goiter or thyroid probs you are not allowed to drink coffee.
