The risk of recurrence of bowel cancer will be reduced by a third: scientists have named the number of cups of coffee per day to maintain health

A study conducted by Dutch and British scientists shows an important link between coffee consumption and the prognosis of bowel cancer.

It has been found that in people suffering from this disease, drinking two to four cups of coffee per day significantly reduces the likelihood of relapse.

An analysis of 1,719 patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer in the Netherlands found that drinking more than 4 cups of coffee per day was associated with a 32% lower risk of recurrence compared with those who drank less than 2 cups of coffee. Moreover, it was found that the lowest risk of death from all causes was observed with consumption of 4 cups of coffee per day, reports the International Journal of Cancer (IJC).

Despite the encouraging results, the scientists note that more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms through which coffee may influence bowel cancer prognosis. It is emphasized that these new data represent an important step in understanding the role of coffee in the health of people with this type of cancer and may stimulate further research in this area, including studying the possible mechanisms of action of coffee on colorectal cancer cells and its influence on the development of certain pathologies. processes.
