26% Reduction in the odds of developing bowel cancer by drinking two cups of coffee a day after adjusting for other lifestyle factors, according to the USC research
Whether you take it short, long, black, with milk, with cream or decaf, drinking more coffee can reduce your risk of developing cancer, according to a new study from the University of Southern California (USC). Researchers tracked the coffee-drinking habits of more than 9,000 people and found that the more coffee subjects drank, the less likely they were to develop bowel (or colorectal) cancer. This was the case even when other lifestyle factors, such as family history, diet, physical activity and smoking were factored in. Better stick the kettle on.
