COFFEE COULD REDUCE PROSTATE CANCER RISKS
A US study with almost 50,000 men has found that men with the highest intake of coffee had significantly lower risks of developing aggressive prostate cancer. Researchers from Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health used data from the Health Professionals' Follow-Up Study to investigate the association between regular and decaffeinated coffee intake and prostate cancer. They established that men with the highest coffee intakes had a 60 per cent lower risk of advanced prostate cancer. Researcher Kathryn Wilson PhD. Wilson said that caffeine is actually not the key factor in this association, but the actual bioactive components are not known. The researchers presented their findings at the American Association for Cancer Research Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research Conference.
