Coffee reduce the risk of prostate cancer


For women, drinking lots of coffee is not good for bodies and their health. But it turns out, for men, the effect of the opposite happened. Based on a study of 48 thousand men, concluded that coffee may reduce the risk of death from prostate cancer. Really?
 

The results of this study is indeed a good news for coffee drinkers of man. Those who drank six or more cups of coffee a day found 20 percent fewer prostate cancer, a disease common cancers suffered by men. Not only that, they were also 60 percent less to suffer from an aggressive form of cancer that can spread to other body parts.
 

However, do not rush to buy up dozens and dozens of wrap coffee for a month supply because the research evidence reported in the journal National Cancer Institute is considered to be still unclear. Experts do not recommend it to prevent prostate cancer and are still doing further research.
Survey itself is conducted in the United States in the men who work as professionals in the health field. Every four years between 1986 and 2006, they were asked to report average daily intake of coffee they drink. Over the span of 20 years, it was recorded 5035 people diagnosed with prostate cancer and 642 people of whom has a fatal case.
 

In research there is no difference between the coffee drinks that contain caffeine and non-caffeine. This suggests that caffeine is not the cause. However, even the coffee in small amounts, about one to three cups a day, found a decreased risk of death from prostate cancer by 30 percent. So the researchers think about the possibility of certain compounds in coffee that is not yet known.
 

Dr. Kathryn Wilson, head of research from the Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, stated, "We still do not know the risk factors that can alter or control to reduce the risk of prostate cancer mortality. If our findings hold, coffee could represent a factor that can be modified to reduce the risk of suffering from forms of prostate cancer the most danger. "
 

Unfortunately, as stated by Dr. Helen Rippon of The Prostate Cancer Charity, there has been no other studies that show a similar relationship between coffee with lower risk of death from prostate cancer. Therefore, he considers the research evidence is still unclear.
 

"Although the research is new knowledge for us, research is still far away. We do not recommend the men who had no habit of drinking coffee to drink it to prevent prostate cancer, "he said.
Heavy coffee drinkers actually had other health problems. Men with benign prostate problems that coffee drinking habit will actually make the symptoms of frequent urination become worse.
 

"Men do not need to drink gallons of coffee in an attempt to lower prostate cancer," said Yinka Ebo, senior health information officer at Cancer Research UK. He continued, "A number of other studies examining coffee and prostate cancer is that drinking coffee does not affect disease risk. Only the study that found a lower risk of advanced prostate cancer in men who drank more than six cups a day. We still need to see the results of similar research studies in larger before we believe the consumption of coffee affects the risk of prostate cancer.

Hopefully this info is useful for men.
