An American scientific study has been published yesterday Tuesday. It shows that men who drink coffee in high quantity have fewer risks of developing a prostate cancer.
From what we can understand of this study, men who drink six cups of coffee a day or more see the risk of having the most lethal type of prostate cancer decrease by 60%!
The study has been published by the Harvard School of Public Health and demonstrates that it has been done seriously.
Lorelei Mucci, the Harvard associated professor, asserted that "Few studies studied in detail the association between the consumption of coffee and the risk of developing a lethal cancer of the prostate”.
She then underlined that “Our study is the most important one because it properly observed if coffee lowers the risks of prostate cancer or not".
More than 47.911 American men between 1986 and 2008 have been examined. 5.035 cases of cancer have been observed, among which 642 were lethal.
We can notice that the positive effects coffee has on this type of cancer are the same whether the coffee is decaffeinated or not. It means that the benefits are coming from its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory values.
This research is definitely a breakthrough as the cancer of the prostate is the most lethal one in the United States and one man out of six is subject to develop one throughout his life.
Maybe no one will refuse a coffee after dinner anymore. Gentlemen, to your coffee maker!
