The researchers note that says, drinkers or those with severe alcohol intake of more than 50 grams per day were less likely to diabetes 39%, but very few people in this study of alcohol intake to achieve such a high level. It is for this reason, the findings may not apply to all heavy drinkers. Responsible for this research comes from the Harvard School of Public Health Katherine M. Conigrave. 50 grams of alcohol is roughly equivalent to 3 to 4 cups 12 ounces of beer, 3 to 4 cups 5 ounces of wine, or 3 to 4 small glass of white wine.

Our results show that alcohol can reduce the risk of type ' diabetes is one of the benefits of drinking. "

The researchers believe that the study results, and some of the results is consistent with the previous, indicate that moderate drinking can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, these chronic diseases, including type ' diabetes and heart disease. Conigrave et al concluded that: "Our results show that regular alcohol consumption to the greatest degree of prevention of type ' diabetes mellitus, even low levels of alcohol consumption also play a role."
