Coffee comes to aid again!!!

LONDON: Women, please note - drinking four cups of coffee a day could help you keep womb cancer at bay, a new study has claimed.

Researchers at Harvard School of Public Health have found a link between regular consumption of coffee and lower risk of developing endometrial cancer, the most common form of the disease.

Women who drank four or more cups a day over many years were 25% less likely to develop the disease than those who limited themselves to less than a cup daily, the 26-year study of 70,000 women found.

Both caffeinated and decaffeinated varieties seemed to help ward off the disease, although tea had no effect-They said, "Increasing exercise and maintaining normal body weight are the most important ways to prevent endometrial cancer. Additional strategies are needed and dietary habits such as coffee drinking could provide one option."

However, they cautioned that adding cream and sugar may cancel out the effects , as may smoking, the Daily Mail reported.
