Coffee is good for prostrate cancer would be music to my husband's ears. After finding out about his prostrate lesions, coffee is still part of his daily diet. According to a recent study, it seems coffee might help lower the risk of advanced prostate cancer.
WedMD reports on a study presented this at the American Association for Cancer Research. The study showed men who drank more coffee were almost 60 percent less likely to develop advanced prostate cancer than the guys who steered clear of java. Researchers analyzed info from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study. The data included coffee drinking habits of around 50,000 men from 1986 to 2006.
While researchers aren't yet telling men to drink coffee to prevent prostate cancer, it appears the couple of cups of coffee my husband has could be helping him. According to WebMD, researcher Kathryn M. Wilson, PhD stated in a news release, "Our results do suggest there is no reason to stop drinking coffee out of any concern about prostate cancer."
Researchers believe it's not just caffeine in coffee that offers prostate cancer prevention because men who drank decaf had similar results. Coffee has antioxidants and minerals. While my doctor recently advised I avoid coffee, my husband will continue to savor his morning cup of coffee.
