Men who drink coffee are found to have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer. In particular, it helps prevent aggressive prostate cancer.
What is the relationship between coffee and prostate cancer?
According to the American health and medical media 'WebMD', a study found that men who drink more than six cups of coffee daily have nearly a 20% reduced risk of prostate cancer. An interesting fact is that both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee had the same effect.
In particular, the effects of this coffee were found to be much greater for deadly prostate cancer. Men who drank more than six cups of coffee had nearly a 60% lower risk of developing deadly prostate cancer.
However, the effect was observed even without drinking more than six cups of coffee. Drinking 1 to 3 cups of coffee a day was found to reduce the likelihood of aggressive prostate cancer by nearly one-third, regardless of health status.
Even if you have or have had prostate cancer, coffee can be beneficial. According to research, drinking more than four cups of coffee a day appears to help delay the progression of prostate cancer. It may also prevent the recurrence of prostate cancer.
How does coffee help?
Scientists do not yet fully understand why coffee reduces the risk of certain types of prostate cancer. However, it is known that coffee contains hundreds of active compounds that may be beneficial to health.
For example, it is rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids and polyphenols. Some of these compounds can prevent cell damage and reduce inflammation. Scientists point to chlorogenic acid and cafestol in coffee as having cancer-fighting properties. Recent studies have shown that these compounds can slow the growth of prostate cancer cells.
This can explain why men who drink boiled coffee have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer compared to men who drink filtered coffee. The paper filters used in making filtered coffee trap compounds such as kahweol acetate and cafestol. Since boiled coffee does not require a filter, these compounds remain in the beverage.
What are the negative effects of drinking too much coffee?
Several studies to date have shown a relationship between coffee consumption and a reduced risk of prostate cancer. However, they have not definitively proven that drinking coffee can prevent prostate cancer.
In the future, more clinical trials will be able to confirm this. Additionally, drinking too much coffee has disadvantages. Consuming more than four cups a day can cause side effects such as headaches, irregular heartbeat, insomnia, and irritability.
Experts advise, "Since some people may be more sensitive to caffeine, they should pay attention to how their bodies respond to daily coffee consumption," and "If coffee makes you anxious or disrupts your sleep at night, reduce your intake."
