PESHAWAR: According to a recent study Coffee, a daily staple for millions, may offer more than just energy and alertness it could also play a role in reducing the risk of certain cancers.
Recent research indicates that regular coffee consumption is linked to a significant decrease in the risk of prostate cancer, one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among men. Approximately one in six men may develop the disease by the age of 85.
Coffee’s caffeine content not only boosts energy but also supports memory, mood, and cognitive performance.
Previous studies conducted by the American Institute for Cancer Research have also suggested that coffee may lower the risk of cancers affecting the head, neck, colorectal region, breast, and liver.
The current study reviewed data from 16 different research projects, covering more than 57,000 prostate cancer cases and over 1 million participants in total.
Results showed a clear trend: higher coffee consumption was associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer.
Researchers also noted that each additional cup of coffee consumed daily may further reduce the risk.
However, they cautioned that the study is observational and does not establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship, highlighting the need for further research to understand the biological mechanisms behind the findings.
