New research discovers more amazing benefits of coffee

A study recently published in the journal of the American Cancer Society has uncovered surprising effects of coffee on cancer.

A large-scale study led by the University of Utah School of Medicine (USA), involving 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, and 1 medical research institute in Taiwan, synthesized data from 14 studies by different scientists , with over 25,000 participants, to investigate whether drinking tea and coffee affects the risk of head and neck cancer.

Drinking three cups of caffeinated coffee can reduce the risk of throat cancer by up to 41%.

Head and neck cancer is the seventh most common cancer globally, and its prevalence is increasing in low- and middle-income countries.

The surprising effects of coffee on head and neck cancer.

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

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

Among the participants were 9,548 patients with head and neck cancer and 15,783 control groups without cancer.

The authors discovered the following results:

Drinking 3-4 cups of caffeinated coffee daily can reduce the risk of head and neck cancer in general by 17%, oral cancer by 30%, and nasopharyngeal cancer by 22%, compared to not drinking coffee.

According to Scitech Daily, drinking 2-3 cups of caffeinated coffee can reduce the risk of throat cancer by up to 41%.

Drinking decaffeinated coffee can reduce 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.

Regarding the effects of drinking tea, the results are as follows.

Specifically, drinking tea in general helps reduce the risk of throat cancer by 29%, with one cup of tea a day reducing the risk of head and neck cancer in general by 9% and throat cancer by up to 27%. However, according to the results, drinking more tea than this amount may increase the risk of laryngeal cancer.

Lead author, Dr. Yuan-Chin Amy Lee, from the Huntsman Cancer Institute and the University of Utah School of Medicine, said: “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. Coffee and tea drinking habits are quite complex, so further research is needed on the impact of coffee and tea on cancer risk reduction.”

To reap the most benefits from 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 it doesn't negatively impact your health. Sugar can increase the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease, kidney disease, as well as skin problems and difficulty sleeping.
