Have already been discovered that coffee has a protective effect against diabetes because of its effect on insulin .. "So the assumption that there was a decrease in some types of cancer as well as coffee."

The researchers noted that the relationship between coffee consumption over a long period of endometrial cancer in 67,470 women. During 26 years of follow-up, researchers recorded 672 cases of cancer of the lining of the uterus.

Was associated with more than four cups of coffee a day with a lower risk of endometrial cancer by 25%. Associated with drinking between two and three cups of coffee a day with a lower risk by seven percent.

Similar associations were seen in decaffeinated coffee, as drinking more than two cups a day, was associated with reduced risk by 22%.

Hope that this study will lead to further inquiries about the effect of coffee on cancer.
