The Dominican Republic produces some of the world's best coffee. Now, a major scientific study just published in the United States says that men who drink a lot of coffee are at lower risk of getting prostate cancer. Men who drank six or more cups of coffee had a 60% less chance of developing the most deadly type of prostate cancer and a 20% less chance of contracting any other type of prostate cancer. The study comes from the School of Public Health at Harvard University. Furthermore, drinking from one to three cups of coffee a day appears to reduce by a third the danger of getting the most deadly type of prostate cancer. Lorelei Mucci, the Harvard professor who led the study said that "few studies have researched in detail the relationship between coffee consumption and the risk of deadly prostate cancer". Her team studied 47,911 men from the United States. Of these subjects, 5,035 developed cancer of which 642 were fatal. Since the effects on cancer risks were the same for coffee with caffeine and for de-caffeinated coffee, the study suggests that the benefits come from the anti-oxidants and the anti-inflammatory elements in coffee.
