DO YOU WANT TO PREVENT CANCER? TAKE COFFEE

“Let thy coffee be thy medicine” is a common slogan these days. With cancer, stroke and heart disease rates climbing, conventional medicine’s so called “cures” aren’t working, regardless of billions spent in research and development. However several new studies suggest coffee prevent breast, prostrate, head and neck cancers.
While too much coffee can cause health problems, such as ulcers, new research suggests generous amount of it are strongly linked to lower cancer rates- between two to five cups daily, or even more, depending on the study and cancer type.
In one analysis, researchers pooled data on regular coffee drinkers and non-drinkers from nine studies collected by the a International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology Consortium. People who drank about four or more cups a day had a 39 per cent decreased risk of oral cavity and pharynx cancers combined, the investigators found. Data on decaffeinated coffee was too sparse for detailed analysis, they added, but indicate no increased risk. Tea intake wasn’t associated with head and neck cancer risk.
In another study, Havard University researchers presented data showing that men who drank the most coffee had an up to 60 per cent decreased risk of advanced prostrate cancers.
Results of a third study showed a decrease risk of brain tumors, associated with coffee. This link was found among those who drank five or more cups of coffee or tea a day, according to researchers from Imperial College, London.
And yet a fourth study found that at least two or three cups a day either can reduce the of breast cancer or delay its onset.
This effect is related to oestrogens, female sex hormones. Certain metabolic products of these hormones are known to be carcinogenic and various component of coffee can alter the metabolism so that a woman acquires a better configuration of various oestrogens, investigators said. Caffeine also hampers cancer cell growth.
In the study, researchers studied the coffee-drinking habits of women including nearly 460 breast cancer patients at Lund.
Women who had one of the C variants, and who had drunk at least three cup of coffee a day, developed breast cancer considerably more seldom than women with the A/A variant with the same coffee consumption. Their cancer risk was only two-thirds of that of the other women.
The study by Havard School of Public Health, showed drinking more than six cups of coffee daily can reduce the risk of getting prostrate cancer significantly. From 48,000 men and 12 years study, researchers discovered that those in this category had 60 per cent less chance of developing lethal prostrate cancer compared with non-drinkers when they drank six cups of coffee every day.
