Coffee may ward off breast cancer: Women who drink five cups a day 'have a lower risk'

 

Coffee may protect women against breast cancer, say Swedish researchers.

They analysed two decades of data from more than 40,000 women who'd recorded their daily intake of coffee and tea as well as caffeine from their diet (eg. chocolate); they found that women who had five or more cups of coffee a day had a 19 % lower risk compared to those who consumed one or two cups.
