Drinking coffee may lower your risk for oral cancer.
Researchers with the American Cancer Society found people who drank more than
four cups of caffeinated coffee a day had nearly half the risk of dying from
mouth or throat cancers, compared to those who only occasionally or never drank
coffee.
The study's authors say more research is needed.
Although less
common in the U.S., mouth and throat cancers are among the ten most common
cancers in the world.
The study is published online in the American Journal
of Epidemiology.
