One study found that bowel cancer patients who drank 2 to 4 cups of coffee a day were significantly less likely to relapse. The study also showed that cancer patients were also significantly less likely to die from all causes, meaning coffee could help those diagnosed with the UK’s second deadliest cancer. The Guardian reported that experts said the findings were “promising” and speculated that if other studies showed the same effect, the 43,000 Britons diagnosed with bowel cancer each year might be encouraged to drink more coffee. The disease claims around 16,500 victims every year, 45 people every day. A study of 1,719 Dutch bowel cancer patients by Dutch and British researchers found that those who drank at least two cups of coffee a day had a lower risk of the disease returning. The effect is proportional to the dose: the more coffee you drink, the greater the risk reduction. According to the study, funded by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and published in the International Journal of Cancer, patients who drank at least five cups of coffee a day were significantly less likely to drink than those who drank fewer. who drank 2 cups, the risk of bowel cancer recurrence was 32% lower. Likewise, higher coffee consumption was strongly associated with people’s chances of survival. Once again, it was confirmed that those who drank at least two cups of coffee a day had an artificially lower risk of death than those who did not drink coffee. And just as with the risk of relapse, those who drank at least five cups of coffee a day had the greatest reduction in the likelihood of death, by 29%. It is estimated that around 95 million cups of coffee are drunk in the UK every day. The leader of the research team, Dr Ellen Kampman, a professor at the University of the Netherlands, said that one in five people diagnosed with bowel cancer will develop a recurrence, which can be fatal. “This study’s finding that drinking three to four cups of coffee a day can reduce bowel cancer recurrence is interesting,” she said. Dr. Kampmann highlighted the research team’s finding of a link between regular coffee intake and the disease. correlation, but not causation. She added: “However, we hope that this finding is true because it appears to be proportional to the dose: the more coffee you drink, the greater the effect.” This study is the latest to show that coffee can reduce the risk of cancer. There is good evidence that coffee reduces the risk of liver and uterine cancer, and there is some evidence that it may also reduce the risk of cancer of the mouth, pharynx, larynx and skin. Coffee has now also been linked to a lower risk of bowel cancer recurrence. Study co-author Marc Gunter, a professor at the University of the United Kingdom, said the findings are “very promising because we really don’t understand why coffee has this effect on people with bowel cancer.” may indicate a way to improve prognosis and survival in patients with bowel cancer.” Gunter points out: “Coffee contains hundreds of bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties that may have a protective effect against bowel cancer. Coffee also reduces inflammation and insulin levels, which are linked to the development and progression of bowel cancer, and may have beneficial effects on the gut microbiome. However, more research is needed to delve deeper into the impact coffee may have on bowel cancer prognosis and survival. The World Cancer Research Fund believes that chlorogenic acid, also found in kale, may provide a key explanation due to its role in regulating glucose and insulin levels in the body. The idea of coffee as a potential cancer protector is a concept that has only emerged in recent years, as the World Health Organization classified it as “possibly carcinogenic” until 2016, but later changed its position because there was no evidence for it. support this. (Bowel cancer is a broader term. Cancers that occur throughout the digestive tract (small intestine and large intestine), such as colorectal cancer, are a type of bowel cancer.)
