New Study Shows Coffee May Reduce the Risk of Head and Neck Cancer

My neighbour came to me this evening and told about her father. He does not recognize anybody and began to have blood in the urine. The daughters took him to the doctor...
You understood.
Cancer.

An other mail abut the cancer and research I received after I published my previous post today. I publish it. Even if I am not very convinced by it. But we have to know about the results of the researches.

Cancer Epidemiology journal, Biomarkers and Prevention just released a study which shows that regular coffee drinkers have a 39 percent decreased risk of head and neck cancer. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/coffeesmysteriousbenefitsmount.) This follows two studies from the Harvard School of Public Health in 2009 which suggested that coffee can reduce a man’s risk for prostate cancer.

ChicagoHealers.com Practitioner Dr. Melody Hart, ND, PhD, is available for interview on the results of this new study and how coffee may be the new health food.

Other research on and benefits of coffee:

  • Harvard research studies also found that downing one to three cups of America’s favorite caffeinated morning beverage can reduce diabetes risk by single digits.
  • At least six studies indicate that people who drink coffee on a regular basis are up to 80% less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease.
  • Other research show that compared to not drinking coffee at least two cups daily can translate to a 25% reduced risk of colon cancer, an 80% drop in cirrhosis of the liver risk, and nearly half the risk of gallstones.
  • There’s also some evidence that coffee may help manage asthma and even control attacks when medication is unavailable, stop a headache, boost a mood and even prevent cavities.
  • Plus coffee has a lot of antioxidants such as chlorogenic acid and tocopherols and minerals such as magnesium.
  • A group of compounds called quinines that when induced to lab rats increases insulin sensitivity, and that improves the body’s response to insulin.
