“Drinking coffee has been shown to reduce type 2 diabetes risk in the general population; however, until now, its effects among women who had gestational diabetes were unknown”

It’s in the article, and study.

4500 people for a medical survey is very very little.
How are they gonna isolate all the other factors that could play a role other than the coffee? Coffee drinkers may be more employed, could eat healthier etc. etc.
To me it's not that clear that it's actually the coffee making a difference.

No amount of people would be able to make possible confounders to go away, if it's not RCT.

"Professor Zhang concluded: “The overall findings suggest that caffeinated coffee, when consumed properly (two to five cups per day, without sugar and whole-fat/high-fat dairy), could be incorporated into a relatively healthy lifestyle for certain people."
He doesn't understand how I like my coffee then....

That’s not what statistical significance means at all.
Something can be statistically significant and just be a correlation.
4500 people is plenty to establish statistical significance. They could’ve had far fewer people and still established statistical significance.
