Coffee Reduces The Risk Of Endometrial Cancer

Coffee lovers have a 25% lower risk of developing lining of the uterus than those who do not consume coffee.

 

Women who drink coffee every day are at lower risk of developing lining of the uterus, according to a study from Harvard University. It included 67,470 women between the ages of 34 and 59, followed for 25 years.

 


 

Compared to women who drink little or no coffee, those who consume an average of four cups a day have a 25% lower risk of developing endometrial cancer. With 2 or 3 glasses a day, the risk is 7% lower.

 

 

The study does not prove that drinking coffee is directly related to reducing the risk of cancer, although scientists believe there is a causal logic.

 

 

Previous research has shown that drinking coffee helps lower insulin and estrogen levels . Chronically high levels of both hormones are thought to be linked to endometrial cancer.

 

 

However, experts warn to be careful with the amount of cream and sugar consumed in coffee. The extra calories and fat contribute to insulin resistance and weight gain , said Eduard Giovanni, a professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston and head of the study.

 

 

 

Studies in recent years have linked hot coffee consumption to a lower risk of developing liver and prostate cancer , as well as a lower risk of depression, type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease (mainly in men) and cirrhosis. the liver . It is also believed to protect against Alzheimer's disease .

 

 

According to other studies, overconsumption of coffee is harmful to health - it can lead to side effects, including insomnia, heartburn, palpitations, anxiety and irritability.

 

 

The permissible amount per day, from a health point of view, is the consumption of 1-2 glasses .

 

 

The results are published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention .
