Women Gain Health Benefits From Coffee
Tea and coffee drinkers can finally shout with joy - there are coffee health benefits to be had.
Some new studies agrees with your wise choice of beverage!
It looks like endometrial cancer risk could be reduced by drinking more coffee or tea on a daily basis, a cancer of the reproductive organs that's unfortunately quite common.
In 2008, the American Cancer Society estimates, over 40000 women would be diagnosed; and around 7400 died from it.
The elements that increase the risk of this cancer are well understood.
Being overweight, getting older and being exposed to higher levels of estrogen, like estrogen therapy, late menopause, erratic periods and considered as risk factors.
You may have heard that diet may also play a role, the risks though are less clear. This research found answers to the role popular drinks could play in cancer risk.
This hospital based, case controlled research involved a survey of nearly 1,100 women; 541 patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer.
It was shown that those who consumed coffee and black tea had a lower risk of uterine cancer.
Subjects who drank 4 cups of coffee or tea/day had only half the chance as those who didn't consume these beverages to have endometrial cancer.
Those that drank over 2 cups of tea had a 44% reduced risk of the disease. The reduced chance was for those who just consumed coffee (over 2 cups/day), at only 29%, though these were not considered statistically significant.
The benefits for people who were overweight were less pronounced.
Those included decaffeinated coffee as one of the drinks they enjoyed, but when they looked at decaffeinated coffee, there wasn't a link between the drink and the risk of endometrial cancer.
Previous studies have shown that caffeine can induce certain enzymes to neutralize certain cancer causing substances.
And if it is not the caffeine that is helping to reduce the risk then other compounds may be at work. Coffee and tea have antioxidants, flavonoids, catechins and isoflavonoids that could also be helping to protect the body from cancer.
Your choice of drink is of course not a guarantee of protection despite the coffee health gains and and should never take the place of proper diet and medical care, a wholesome diet and other careful lifestyle choices. - 17269
