Inverse association between coffee consumption and the incidence risk
of oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal cancers
We found an
inverse association between coffee consumption and the incidence risk
of oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal cancers in the general population
of Japan. Daily consumption of 1 or more cups of coffee was related to
nearly 50% lower risk of these cancers. However, the most established
evidence of preventing these cancers are cessation of smoking and heavy
drinking. We strongly recommend stop smoking and drinking too much if
you don't to want to suffer from these cancers, and in addition to this,
coffee could be one of the supportable factors. We consider the result
from our present study have pharmacological implications for clinical
medication especially for preventing recurrences of these cancers.
