Women Gain Health Benefits From Coffee
Tea and coffee drinkers can finally shout with joy - Because there are health benefits to be had.
New studies confirms your clever choice of beverage!
It seems that women who drink a few cups of tea or coffee every day might have a lower risk of endometrial cancer, a cancer of the reproductive organs that's unfortunately quite common.
In 2008, the American Cancer Society estimates, just over 40,000 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.
Diet may also play a role, the risks though are less clear. This research found solutions to the role popular beverages might play in cancer risk.
The hospital based, case controlled research involved a survey of nearly 1,100 women; 541 subjects diagnosed with endometrial cancer.
Subjects who drank black tea or coffee had a lower risk of this types of cancer.
Women who drank 4 cups of tea of coffee/day had only half the chance as those who didn't drink these drinks 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 just 29%, though this figure was not considered statistically significant in terms of research.
The benefits for people who were overweight were less pronounced.
Subjects included decaffeinated coffee as one of the drinks they drank, there was no reduction in risk.
Lab work has shown that caffeine induces some enzymes that help to neutralize potential cancer causing substances.
If the caffeine is not the main compound that effects the risk, then it could be one of the other helpful compounds. Both coffee and tea have antioxidants, flavonoids, catechins and isoflavonoids that can help reduce the risk of cancer.
Your choice of beverage is certainly not a guarantee of protection despite the coffee health benefits and and should never take the place of proper diet and medical care, a wholesome diet and other careful lifestyle choices. - 17274
