Xinhua Tokyo, September 22 (Reporter Lan Jianzhong) Japanese researchers announced at the meeting of the Japanese Cancer Society held in Osaka on the 22nd that people who drink a lot of coffee will have a lower risk of head and neck cancer in the mouth and pharynx.

This is Aichi Prefecture Cancer Center Research Institute Oase Gong and others in the epidemiological investigation found.

The team surveyed the habits of 961 patients with head and neck cancer, esophageal cancer and 2883 healthy people and found that there was no significant difference in the risk of head and neck cancer between those who drank less than one cup of coffee a day and those who drank one cup of coffee a day. However, if you drink more than two cups of coffee a day, the risk of head and neck cancer will be reduced. People who drank more than three cups of coffee a day had a nearly half lower risk of cancer than those who drank less than one cup of coffee a day.

The team also found that people who drank more coffee had a lower risk of head and neck cancer among smokers and drinkers. However, drinking coffee has no preventive effect on esophageal cancer.

"after the substance in the cell is oxidized, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is damaged, which can cause cancer," Oase said. Perhaps because coffee has the effect of antioxidation and oxidation is neutralized, it prevents head and neck cancer. "

According to previous epidemiological investigations, coffee drinkers are also less likely to suffer from colorectal cancer and liver cancer.
