Around the world people savor and consume the fulfilling aroma of coffee with little expectation other than waking them up in the morning and keeping them going throughout the day.
However, a new study out of Sweden has found a remarkable link between breast cancer prevention and your morning cup of Joe. The study, released yesterday, documents the effects of coffee on cancer patients in remission - and noting a profound reduction of breast cancer returning while breast cancer patients consume the cancer treatment medication called tamoxifen and regularly drink coffee.
Even better news - women who's coffee consumption was high was even more likely not to have a another cancer occurrence. Studies in years past have linked coffee consumption with skin and colon cancer prevention. Fortunately, we can now add breast cancer to the list.
The study concluded caffeine and caffeic acid within coffee reduces cell division and essentially destroys cancer cells. So, it's like a cancer blood hound in your system. When tamoxifen is added the effect is intensified.
So yes - grab that extra cup of coffee today. In a world filled with environmental carcinogens and other harmful substances negatively effecting us, coffee is not one of them - in fact, it may be keeping you both energized and healthy.
