In terms of the volume of beverages consumed, coffee is the most popular drink in the world. In America, the amount of coffee consumed every day is greater than the combined total amount of tea, juice and other soft drinks.
Coffee's miraculous properties
Coffee's miraculous properties
Coffee not only tastes great, it may reduce the risk of serious diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, dementia and Parkinson's disease. It turned out that people who drink coffee are less likely to develop cancer than people who drink other beverages, including tea.
Of course, coffee cannot directly repair DNA, so it is in no way a cure for cancer. But scientists now know that coffee reduces cellular damage, including DNA mutations that could otherwise lead to cancer.
Research was conducted in this direction
Results of cancer research
Based on a meta-analysis of 500 scientific papers at UCLA, it was found that coffee has "protective properties" against liver cancer and uterine cancer.
Coffee and cancer: what does scientific research say?
Similarly, a study of 43,000 Norwegians showed a "positive association between drinking coffee and a reduced risk of lung cancer." Meanwhile, Gifu University School of Medicine discovered that coffee has an "inhibitory effect on chemical carcinogenesis."
Coffee's effect on each person differs depending on the specific characteristics of that person's body. For this reason, there is a group of people in the world whose systems unfortunately cannot handle caffeine and who must avoid coffee. It is therefore worth having tests done and consulting dietitians in order to eat in harmony with your body.
Summary
Coffee is the world's most popular beverage, and it may help protect against cancer. A meta-analysis at UCLA demonstrated its protective effect in the case of liver and uterine cancer, and a study of 43,000 Norwegians confirmed an association with a lower risk of lung cancer. Although coffee does not directly repair DNA, it limits cellular mutations that lead to disease.
However, coffee's effect is an individual matter — not every body tolerates caffeine, which is why tests and consultations with dietitians are key. It is worth remembering that the protective effect concerns moderate consumption, not treating coffee as a medicine.
