Shanghai City, China, (IINA) - A New research based on a survey covering more than 550,000 men worldwide shows that the likelihood of developing prostate cancer decreases by 2.5 percent for every two additional cup of coffee consumed a day, Mail Online health news reported.
Researchers at the Tongji University Hospital in Shanghai analyzed the results of 13 studies that had investigated this link and concluded that as well as facing an overall lower risk, coffee drinkers were 24 percent less likely to die from the disease if diagnosed with it, reports the journal Nutrition And Cancer.
A number of compounds in coffee are thought to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, including cafestol and kahweol, which have been shown to inhibit cancer cell growth.
