Coffee Linked to Decreased Risk of Prostate Cancer
A newly released study suggests that drinking coffee will reduce a man’s risk of prostate cancer later in life. In cases where coffee drinkers do exhibit signs of prostate cancer, the cancer is less severe than non-coffee drinking counterparts. The members of the study who were the highest coffee-consumers showed an 89% decreased risk of lethal or advanced prostate cancer than the members of the study who drank no coffee.
Researchers have stated that they do not believe the correlation is between caffeine and the decreased risk, but some other element of coffee. In the past, researches have faced barriers in trying to study the causes and treatments of prostate cancer because there are very few lifestyle habits that show any correlation to the presence of cancer. If further research confirms the coffee link, history will be made in the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer!
