Women out there, you need to know this. Your favorite coffee is proven to protect you from recurrence of breast cancer by cutting down its risky factors. Earlier studies revealed that consumption of coffee helps women in staying protected from breast cancer. And according to a recent study by Lund University, coffee is proven to inhibit growth of tumor which in turn reduces the overall risk of recurrence of breast cancer in women who are treated with the drug tamoxifen.
According to Ann Rosendahl and Helena Jernstrom who were a part of the study said out of 500 women who were treated with tamoxifen, nearly half of them who had the habit of drinking at least 2 cups of coffee every day had just 50 per cent chance of recurrence of breast cancer.
Further, it is also found that those who had 2 cups of coffee every day developed smaller tumors and lower proportion of tumors that are hormone-dependent. This research involved studying substances caffeine and caffeic acid. It is found that breast cancer cells react to these substances, to caffeine in specific, which reduced cell division and elevated cell death, especially in patients treated with tamoxifen.
