If you haven't heard, then check out the article covering the study: http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/05/17/coffee.prostate.cancer/index.html.
So why is this a post and not a cool Stumbledupon link at the side of my blog?
Because, accd. to the article, "drinking six or more cups of coffee per day can lower a man's risk of fatal prostate cancer by up to 60 percent."
Sure, it's just an association. I'm no sucker for correlations.
But I like coffee anyways, so I'm at least going to psych myself into thinking this works (for a combined coffee + quasi-placebo effect).
Thank you, coffee.
And finally, Word of Wisdom correlated to prostate cancer? just saying.
That is all.
(Also, now that I have time, I'll get started on the NT challenge soon. But not too soon, because vacation is coming up. And I'm suffering from what I call Agnostic Apathy, though I'm still really interested in breaking down the BoM into separate parts through a program and etc.)
Never heard that one before. But I'd be worried about the adverse effects of ingesting that much caffeine every day.
ReplyDeleteNo joke. I know a few people who do that, but I see myself in the category of people who drink just three cups instead (and at least get a 30% less chance).
ReplyDeleteJust remember, it was something else in the coffee that produced this effect, NOT the caffeine. They found that drinking decaf gave the same benefits as normal.
