Can Coffee Help Beat Cancer? New Research Shows Surprising Benefits

wikitree Views  

Health Chosun recently reported insights from Dr. Hee Kyung Ahn, a Hematology and Oncology Department professor at Samsung Medical Center. Dr. Ahn revealed that moderate coffee consumption can benefit cancer patients.

A study from Japan’s Tohoku University found that coffee drinkers had a 30% lower risk of liver cancer. Stateside, Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute discovered that sipping more than two cups daily could lower mortality risk and slow symptom progression in cancer patients.

The secret behind coffee’s health benefits lies in its polyphenols—anti-inflammatory compounds that fight oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals. This process could potentially help prevent chronic diseases, including cancer. Adding a bit of milk to your coffee may even enhance these polyphenol benefits.

Another health hero in coffee is chlorogenic acid, which battles cholesterol, provides antioxidant and anti-cancer effects, and helps reduce insulin resistance, potentially lowering the risk of diabetes.

Dr. Ahn adds, “Coffee’s caffeine boost isn’t just about energy. It triggers the release of feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, giving cancer patients another reason to enjoy their daily cup.”

Dr. Ahn recommends lattes, Americanos, or hand-dripped coffee for cancer patients. These brewing methods filter out some cholesterol components, and multiple water pours in hand-dripping can boost chlorogenic acid content.

However, cancer patients should avoid instant coffee. The added cream and sugar can lead to unwanted weight gain.

Caution is also advised with scalding hot coffee, as it may damage the delicate cells lining the esophagus.

While coffee has many benefits, it’s not for everyone. Some individuals may find that coffee makes them feel more tired than energized. People sensitive to caffeine might experience jitteriness, a racing heart, or trembling hands.

Nutritionists warn about the “caffeine crash,” which occurs when the body’s overstimulation from caffeine leads to increased heart rate and anxiety. This can drain energy and leave people even more exhausted.
