A claim a day, or maybe 2 or more. Who's checking anyway?

I am reading about more studies and surveys done on the good effects of alcohol, coffee, tea, or daily dose of meat, and on the flip side the bad effects of too much veggies.

Here's something new for the day.
'Coffee, Tea Health Benefits: Curb diabetes risk with daily drink' posted in The Huffington Post. A daily dose of coffee, decaf or tea can reduce the risk of getting Type 2 diabetes by 25 to 35 percent, according to a new study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

I am not sure I believe that or want to believe. Why are studies so contradicting in their results from even the recent past? Are we supposed to believe these because it is from a medical journal?

Now what? Everybody who has Type 2 diabetes and who don't drink coffee and /tea are going to start drinking them? Or, are people who do not have the problem going to start drinking them as a preventive measure?

Way too confusing.
