New research discovers more amazing benefits of coffee

Research recently published in the journal of the American Cancer Society has discovered the surprising effects of coffee on cancer.

A large-scale study led by the University of Utah School of Medicine (USA), with the participation of 7 universities, 7 cancer research institutes and hospitals in the US, 2 cancer research centers in Germany, 4 universities and national cancer research institutes in Italy, 1 university in Switzerland, 1 university and medical research institute in France, 1 medical research institute in Taiwan, synthesized data from 14 studies by different scientists, with more than 25,000 participants, to find out whether drinking tea and coffee affects the risk of head and neck cancer.

Drinking 3 cups of caffeinated coffee reduces the risk of throat cancer by up to 41%

Head and neck cancer is the 7th most common cancer globally, with an increasing trend in low- and middle-income countries.

The surprising effects of coffee on head and neck cancer

According to the National Institute of Health, head and neck cancers include cancers of the mouth, pharynx, nasopharynx, throat, larynx, salivary glands, nose and sinuses.

Participants completed questionnaires about previous consumption of caffeinated, decaffeinated coffee, and tea.

Among the participants, there were 9,548 head and neck cancer patients and 15,783 cancer-free controls.

The authors found the following results:

Drinking 3-4 cups of caffeinated coffee per day was associated with a 17% lower risk of head and neck cancer overall, a 30% lower risk of oral cancer, and a 22% lower risk of nasopharyngeal cancer, compared with no coffee consumption.

Drinking 2-3 cups of caffeinated coffee reduces the risk of throat cancer by up to 41%, according to Scitech Daily.

Drinking decaffeinated coffee reduces the risk of oral cancer by 25%.

Head and neck cancers include cancers of the mouth, pharynx, nasopharynx, throat, larynx, salivary glands, nose, and sinuses.

As for the effects of drinking tea, the results are as follows.

Specifically, drinking tea in general reduces the risk of throat cancer by 29%, with 1 cup of tea per day reducing the risk of head and neck cancer in general by 9% and reducing the risk of throat cancer by up to 27%. However, according to the results, drinking more tea than this can increase the risk of laryngeal cancer.

Previous research has also shown that coffee and tea consumption reduces cancer risk, but this study highlights their different effects on different sites of head and neck cancer, and that even decaffeinated coffee has a positive effect, said lead author Dr Yuan-Chin Amy Lee, of the Huntsman Cancer Institute and the University of Utah School of Medicine. Coffee and tea drinking habits are complex, so further research is needed to understand the impact of coffee and tea on cancer risk reduction.

To reap the many benefits of coffee, according to nutritionist Riya Desai, Deputy Director of Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital (India), you should avoid adding sugar or at least add sugar in moderation to ensure that it does not affect your health. Sugar can increase the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease, kidney disease, as well as skin problems and difficulty sleeping.
