Uterine cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women. Scientists do not know what causes cancer, although there are some risk factors, such as advanced age and overexposure to the hormone estrogen.
DRINKING COFFEE PROTECTS AGAINST uterine cancer
But there are things women can do to help prevent the disease, and drinking coffee might be one of them.
The hot beverage loved by millions may have the power to protect against endometrial cancer, according to a new study led by the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
The researchers analyzed 24 studies involving more than 699,000 people related to coffee intake, of which 9,800 had uterine cancer cases.
It was found that coffee drinkers had a 29 percent lower risk of developing uterine cancer than non-drinkers. But experts say you should limit caffeine to 400mg per day for health. 400 mg is equivalent to about 4 cups of coffee.
