With our dental outreach projects launching today, the report in the Telegraph about coffee helping prevent oral cancer could not have been more timely.
Today’s news suggests that researchers have found regular coffee drinkers were 39 per cent less likely to develop oral and pharynx cancers than those who didn’t drink coffee.
Coffee prevents oral cancer!
In a moment of celebrating the mighty coffee bean, the Telegraph have linked their article to another about how coffee reduces the rate of heart disease. The research team studied tea and coffee consumption among 37,514 people, and followed the participants for 13 years to monitor heart disease and death. Those who drink between three and six cups were 45 per cent less likely to suffer coronary problems compared to people who had less than one cup dail. The researchers believe that the health benefits are down to antioxidants found in both drinks which remove damaging free radicals from the body.
