Data published in JAMA Oncology, a medical journal, found that patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who reported drinking two to three cups of coffee a day had a higher association with longer living overall than those who didn't drink coffee.
The journal reported it is too soon to recommend a high coffee intake as a potential treatment for colorectal cancer but does recommend that drinking coffee is not harmful and may be beneficial according to Dr. Kimmie Ng, the study's senior author, an oncologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
The study's authors suggest that coffee has several compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may be active against cancer.
