According to the Daily Telegraph of May 11, a new Swedish study published in the journal Breast Cancer Research claims that drinking coffee regularly can help reduce the risk of breast cancer.

Researchers at the Karolinska School of Medicine found that drinking coffee regularly can significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer among women over the age of 50, and drinking large amounts of coffee can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 20%. Compared with non-coffee drinkers, women who regularly drank coffee had a more than half lower risk of ER-negative breast cancer.

The new study surveyed nearly 5000 women over the age of 50 and their coffee drinking habits. It was found that drinking more than five cups of coffee a day reduced the overall risk of breast cancer by 20%. Women who regularly drank coffee had a 57% reduction in the incidence of ER-negative breast cancer. ER-negative breast cancer is rare and difficult to treat. The exact mechanism by which coffee drinking reduces the risk of breast cancer is unclear, but earlier studies suggested that coffee's rich antioxidants play a key role, the researchers said.
