It proved that coffee lovers are not afraid of cancer

Daily consumption of coffee reduces the risk of cancer. According to research by American scientists in the field of cancer, drinking three cups of coffee a day reduces the risk by 20%.

The results of research of the Center of cancer in Boston suggest that daily consumption of coffee is an excellent anti-cancer prevention for the organism - if a person drinks at least three cups of coffee a day, the risk of basal cell carcinoma had significantly reduced.

Recall that the basal cell carcinoma is by far one of the most common types of Skin Cancer . In the experiment, the scientists were able to prove that the frequent consumption of coffee is becoming a barrier to the development of prevention of two cancers - Melanoma   and squamous cell carcinoma .

According to the data of the 113 thousand people that have passed inspection, skin cancer   found in 25 480 people. And with the diagnosis " basal cell carcinoma "It turned out to 22,786 patients with squamous cell carcinoma   It was identified in 1953 person, and with melanoma -   741 people.

Interesting was the fact that women who drink a day at least three cups of freshly brewed natural coffee, fell ill with basal cell carcinoma twenty percent less likely than women their age who drank less than one cup per month. Regarding male figures were somewhat different. Avid coffee drinkers strong half of mankind develop cancer by 9% less than their peers more indifferent to the invigorating drink.

Studies on the properties of the coffee, which is one of the most popular drinks in the world, are not held for the first time. If we talk specifically about the effect of coffee on the skin, we can recall the work of Professor Joe Vinson of the University of Scranton (Pennsylvania, USA), published last summer. Vinson study showed that the antioxidants in coffee, neutralize the adverse effects of oxygen, known as "the effect of free radicals." A daily intake of 2 cups of coffee slows down the process of premature aging of the skin, protecting it from early wrinkles.

However, despite the encouraging data of American scientists still do not abuse coffee. In all it needs to know the measure, including relative to the amount of coffee drunk. None of the scientists is not refuted by the fact that the excessive use of invigorating drink has a negative impact on the cardiovascular system, often leads to nervous exhaustion and causes problems with urogenital.
