And recently, scientists have published the results of another “coffee” study. It turns out that if a person drinks two cups of coffee a day, the risk of developing liver cancer is reduced by 46 percent – almost half! But in the world over the past year, more than a million people have died from this type of cancer.
To reach similar conclusions, the researchers created a model that shows the relationship between the number of cancer deaths and the amount of coffee consumed. And they found out that if every person on the planet drank two cups of coffee a day, there would be almost half a million fewer deaths from liver cancer. So coffee can save the world?
In addition, an interesting statistic has emerged: most of all coffee is drunk in the Scandinavian countries. Every inhabitant there drinks an average of four cups a day. In Europe, they drink two cups a day, as in South America, Australia and New Zealand. In North and Central America, however, they drink less coffee – just a cup a day.
“Coffee needs to be promoted as a way to prevent liver cancer,” the researchers are convinced. “It’s a simple, relatively safe and affordable way to prevent hundreds of thousands of deaths from liver disease every year.”
True, the scientists immediately made a reservation that their research alone is not enough: the work must be continued in order to finally find out what is so magical in coffee that protects against oncology.
