Coffee: 10 Benefits of Coffee
Coffee Benefit #9: Lowers Cancer Risk
Cancer, a widespread disease throughout the United States, is characterized by uncontrolled growth of cells in the body. There are two types of cancer that seem to be positively affected by coffee. These appear to be liver and colorectal cancer. Liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death while colorectal is the fourth.
One study suggested that individuals who drank 4-5 cups per day had a 15% lower risk of colorectal cancer. Up to a 40% lower risk of liver cancer can be seen in those who drink coffee. Coffee has also been associated with a slight reduction in the risk of stroke, another leading cause of death in America.
