Coffee wards off prostate cancer, a
new Italian study says.
At least three small cups of coffee a day lower the risk of
getting the cancer by more than 50%, according to in vitro
studies on 7,000 Italians conducted by IRCCS Neuromed in
Pozzilli in Molise in collaboration with the Higher Health
Institute (ISS) and the IRCCS Istituto Dermopatico of Rome's
Immacolata Hospital.
"Caffeine is directly responsible for the protective
effects," said the study led by George Pounis of Neuromed and
published in the International Journal of Cancer.
