Can Coffee Fight Cancer?


It seems every week they tell us something nice is bad for us. Good news, then for cappuccino addicts;
coffee may actually be good for you. A study at the National Cancer Center in Tokyo found that subjects who drank coffee daily had about half the risk of a particular type of liver cancer as those who did not.

It's early days, though;
another study, in Boston, found no connection between caffeinated coffee or tea and colon or rectal cancer. They did find that those drinking two or more cups of decaffeinated coffee a day had a reduced risk of rectal cancer - though this may just be because decaf drinkers tend to have healthier lifestyle.
