People who boosted their coffee intake by “moderate to large” doses in a US-based study had a lower risk for adult-onset diabetes than those with stable consumption, researchers said on April 25.
An analysis of studies that tracked the diet and lifestyles of more than 120,000 health sector workers, showed that those who increased their daily caffeine dose by about 1.5 cups a day over a four-year period had an 11-percent lower chance in the subsequent four years of developing type 2 diabetes, the team found.
This was in comparison to those whose intake remained constant.

“Furthermore, those who had moderate to large decreases in intake about two cups a day had an 18 percent higher risk,” a research team in Diabetologia, the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes.
“Changes in coffee consumption habit appear to affect diabetes risk in a relatively short amount of time,” concluded the team led by Shilpa Bhupathiraju of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.

研究人員四月二十五日說,在一份美國研究中,增加攝取咖啡「中度到大量」的人,會比咖啡攝取量穩定者,有較低的成人發作型糖尿病風險。
團隊發現,研究追蹤超過十二萬名健康部門工作人員的飲食與生活習慣,發現每天咖啡因攝取量增加約一點五杯,持續四年者,接下來四年罹換第二型糖尿病的風險低百分之十一。
這是與攝取量維持穩定者相較。
歐洲糖尿病研究協會期刊《糖尿病學》研究團隊說:「此外,中度到大量減少攝取(約每天兩杯)者,風險高百分之十八。」
波士頓的哈佛公共衛生學院希爾帕‧布帕席拉裘領導的研究總結指出:「咖啡攝取習慣的改變,似乎在相對短時間內影響糖尿病風險。」

Tangbao are one of the most internationally renowned delicacies, that win the hearts of both locals and tourists. Their charm lies in the paper-thin flour wrapper that needs to be folded evenly almost 20 times. Folding a tangbao requires skill to deal with a bulging filling and a thin wrapper.

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced a seismic change in direction on March 19, hiking interest rates for the first time in 17 years. The move represents an unwinding of an ultra-loose — and maverick -- policy aimed at putting Japan’s “lost decades” of stagnation and deflation behind it. The last time the BoJ raised interest rates was in 2007, but its war against deflation began in earnest in 2013 under then-prime minister Shinzo Abe. “Abenomics” combined generous government spending and central bank monetary easing. The BoJ spent vast amounts on bonds and other assets to pump liquidity into the

Have you ever wished for an extra hour to prepare for exams or finish homework? In some countries, people actually adjust their clocks to gain or lose an hour, all for the sake of Daylight Saving Time (DST). Specifically, clocks are set forward by an hour in March and then set back in November. One of the primary reasons for implementing DST is to make better use of natural daylight so that people can reduce energy consumption. The concept originated with Benjamin Franklin in 1784 and became widely adopted during World War I. Today, this system is in place
