Washington: Coffee lovers have more
reasons to smile as a new study has now confirmed that it can ward off breast
cancer.
While previous studies have shown that coffee helps
to protect against breast cancer, the latest Swedish study led by Lund
University, has confirmed that coffee inhibits the growth of tumours and reduces
the risk of recurrence in women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and
treated with the drug tamoxifen.
The study shows that among the over 500 women
treated with tamoxifen, those who had drunk at least two cups of coffee a day
had only half the risk of recurrence of those who drank less coffee or none at
all.
The study also showed that those who drank at least
two cups of coffee a day had smaller tumours and a lower proportion of
hormone-dependent tumours, explained researchers Ann Rosendahl and Helena
Jernstrom.
In the cell study, the researchers looked more
closely at two substances that usually occur in the coffee drunk in Sweden -
caffeine and caffeic acid.
