Fight Breast Cancer… With Coffee!
Numerous studies have proven the health benefits of coffee – ranging from preventing diabetes to reducing inflammation and enhancing physical endurance. Now new research shows that your cup o’ joe may play a role in protecting against one of the most prevalent cancers in women: breast cancer.
A recent study published in the British Journal of Cancer found that women at high risk for breast cancer significantly reduced that risk by drinking three or more cups of coffee daily.
Why? Researchers are calling it the “drink and shrink” dilemma. The coffee drinkers experienced a significant reduction in breast volume, which reduced the women’s exposure to the cancer-promoting hormone estrogen.
While coffee may offer a number of health benefits, be sure to choose organic coffee to reduce your exposure to cancer-promoting pesticides.
