Caffeine could prevent certain brain tumors
According to a new study by London's Imperial College, drinking at least five cups of coffee or tea every day could help prevent brain tumors. Scientists, analyzing over 300 cases of glioma brain tumor in men and women, found that people who consumed five or more cups of coffee or tea a day had a 40% smaller chance of developing the cancer. Men benefited more from the protective effects of caffeine, although the exact cause of that could not be pinpointed. Decaffeinated tea or coffee was not associated with the same benefits.
