Coffee: Drug, Medicine or Sacrament?

All coffee drinks are advised to absorb this information. Note this quote from the article:

Coffee is also one of the only sources of "bitters" remaining in the sweet-fixated Western diet, which sadly comes with a certificate of guarantee that the bearer will likely develop type 2 diabetes, heart disease or cancer at some point in their life. Could the extreme bitterness of coffee be the reason why it has been repeatedly shown to reduce type 2 diabetes risk, as it is one of the only ways we can balance out the highly inappropriate excesses of carbohydrate in our modern dietary configuration? We don't normally think of grains as sweet, but they are on the glycemic index. Puffed rice, for instance, can make the blood sweeter than white sugar which is why carbs are known as "crouching diabetes, hidden sugar." Coffee contains a wide range of blood-glucose and insulin sensitizing compounds, making it an ideal complement to a carbohydrate-deranged diet.

A product that enhances this effect comes in the form of a modified coffee product made by Boresha company called "Skinny Coffee" which has substantial clinical data to back up company claims. I've been drinking this beverage since last September and I've seen my blood sugar drop at least 20 points.
