Coffee Encyclopedia Coffee can prevent radiation damage

Radiation injury has become a prominent pollution and harm at present. Especially the radiation of household appliances: such as people who operate computers for a long time, microwave ovens, televisions at home, and so on. Especially for pregnant women, it has affected the health of the next generation. This kind of report is not uncommon.

Indian scientists have found that coffee protects experimental mice from radiation and may have the same effect on humans. Researchers at the Barba Atomic Research Center in India found that 70 per cent of caffeine-injected mice survived 25 days after receiving generally lethal doses of radiation, while all of the uninjected mice died. Caibili George, who led the study, said the findings may also apply to humans. "the study does show that coffee may help prevent radiation damage," he said.
