Surprising Coffee Health Benefits For Women
Coffee and tea drinkers rejoice - there are coffee health benefits to be had.
New studies confirms your wise choice of beverage!
It looks like endometrial cancer risk could be reduced by drinking more coffee or tea on a daily basis, a cancer of the reproductive organs that's unfortunately quite common.
In 2008, the American Cancer Society estimates, over 40000 women would be diagnosed; about 7,400 will have 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 early periods, infertility, late menopause and estrogen therapy afterward are all considered risk factors.
, but the impacts seem to be less clear than other risks. This research found answers to the role popular drinks might play in cancer risk.
The hospital based, case controlled research involved a survey of nearly 1,100 women; 541 patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer.
It was shown that those who consumed coffee and black tea had a lower risk of uterine cancer.
Women who drank 4 cups of coffee or tea/day were only half as likely as those who didn't drink these drinks to have endometrial cancer.
Women who drank tea only (over 2 cups/day) had a 44% lower risk of disease. The lower risk was there for women who just drank coffee (over 2 cups/day), at only 29%, though this figure was not considered statistically significant in terms of research.
The researchers are fast to show that part of the benefit they saw for drinking coffee or tea might be affected by body mass index. The reduction in risk of endometrial cancer, even in tea drinkers, was limited for those women who weighed more.
Subjects included decaffeinated coffee as one of the drinks they drank, but when they looked at decaffeinated coffee, there wasn't a link between the drink and the risk of endometrial cancer.
Previous studies have shown that caffeine can induce certain enzymes to neutralize certain cancer causing substances.
If it isn't the caffeine, there are some other helpful compounds that might be at work. Tea and coffee have antioxidants, flavonoids, catechins and isoflavonoids which may also help in the fight against cancer.
Your choice of drink is of course not a guarantee of protection despite the coffee health gains and and should never take the place of proper diet and medical care, a healthy diet and other careful lifestyle choices. - 17268
