June 24, 2010 Posted by Chris Tingom Filed under Uncategorized
Victor posted a link to this Live Science article about the “mysterious” benefits of coffee, and I thought I’d post a summary.
- Lowered cancer risk
- Sharper memory
- 39% decreased risk of head and neck cancer
- Fewer cancers of the mouth and throat than non-coffee drinkers
- Drinking coffee can help prevent the neural degeneration associated with brain disorders
- Good for the cardiovascular system
- Lowers the risk of stroke by 19% among women
- A 60% cut in risk of aggressive prostate cancer in men
- Reduce the risk of developing liver cancer by 41%
- Protective against certain brain tumors, endometrial cancer, and advanced prostate cancer
- Source of antioxidants that prevent cellular damage
Your results may vary.
