Prevention: Coffee Lowers Risk of Prostate Cancer, Harvard Study Says

A new result has shown that if people drink coffee they're less likely to have prostate cancer.  Harvard students did research on how much people drink coffee.  They found out that people who drink 6 or more cups of coffee have a 20% less chance of having prostate cancer.  Heavy coffee drinkers were 60% less likely to get lethal form of the disease than the non-coffee drinkers.  This study did not measure how much caffeine is put in the coffee or whether it is not caffeinated, rather the cups drank.  By drinking coffee you also have a lower risk of getting Type 2 Diabetes.  This study isn’t telling people to go crazy with drinking coffee, rather just drink it 3 to 4 time a day, or more just not crazy like 30 cups.
