Can Coffee Protect Against Common Cancers?

Can Coffee Protect Against Common Cancers?: "Feb. 15, 2005 -- There's more good news for the roughly 100 million Americans who couldn't imagine getting through the day without their coffee fix. Recent studies have shown that regular coffee consumption may lower the risk of developing diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson's. Now comes word that it may also protect against two common cancers."


"Two separate studies, reported in the Feb. 16 issue of The Journal of the National Cancer Institute, examined the impact of coffee drinking on cancer risk.

Researchers in Japan found that regular coffee drinkers had about half the incidence of liver cancer as people who never drank coffee. And a study from the Harvard School of Public Health showed that drinking decaf, but not caffeinated, coffee appeared to have a similar impact on colorectal cancer risk"

now if I could only stand the taste...lol...
