Manfaat Minum Kopi

Benefits of Drinking Coffee. The latest news, drinking four cups ofcoffee a day can help protect you from the risk of mouth cancer.But, doctors recommend not drinking coffee in excessive doses.Therefore, the caffeine in it can increase heart rate and bloodpressure.

Some of the 1,000 chemicals contained in coffee - includingantioxidants - may offer protection against various types of cancer.That's according to research by a team from the University of Utah, USA.

The study consisted of nine studies conducted in Europe, Americaand Central America, by comparing the coffee drinking habits ofsome 5,000 cancer patients and more than 9,000 healthy people.From the research also seen smoking, eating and alcoholconsumption. The researchers found that regular coffee drinkersthe risk of oral and esophageal cancers, 39 percent lower thanpeople who do not drink coffee.

"We have a large enough sample and we combine data from manystudies. We have more statistical power to detect between cancerand coffee, "said Mia Hashibe, chief researcher, as quoted by the Times of India.

Studies on the relationship between coffee and cancer according to some people quite confusing and sometimes contradictoryresults. That's because drinking coffee can be a marker of otherlifestyle factors that can increase cancer risk, such as smoking andalcohol consumption.
