You only provide the source and not much other information except for hashtags. I would provide a little more information in order to ensure others trust your claim.

- Your body may produce glucose easier, decreasing risk of Type 2 Diabetes

Upon researching the claim that coffee is associated with several health benefits, I found this claim to be true, however, it is misleading. I found credible information that backed the health-beneficial claims of the website linked. While I found the information to be true, there are two main that this claim fails to address. First, it doesn't address that it's referring to just plain coffee itself. When extra sweeteners and milk are added to coffee, some of the health benefits claimed would not still apply. Second, there are also a few drawbacks of constant coffee drinking, including headaches and withdrawals (Berg). While the claim itself is true, it's misleading and should address a few other factors.
