coffee may reduce the risk of breast cancer

more coffee less cancer
According to a researcher of the Karolinska Institut in Stockholm, women who drink more than five cups of coffee a day may be reducing their risk of one type of breast cancer known as estrogen-receptor negative cancers. This type of breast cancer is less likely to respond to hormone therapy than estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer.

The study evaluated coffee drinking and breast cancer risk in 2,818 patients with breast cancer and 3,111 study participants who did not have breast cancer.  Participants were all Swedish, ages 50 to 74. The researchers collected information on coffee drinking habits. education, family history of breast cancer, menstrual history, reproductive history, and habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol, and exercising.

The researcher herself is not convinced about the results and is unclear whether this observation was a chance finding. However, a U.S. expert cautiously warns that the only thing this study suggests is: "Drinking coffee doesn’t seem to increase the overall risk of breast cancer."

So, I would suggest: ladies, enjoys your cup of coffee and keep it brewing.
