Coffee drinkers may have a powerful secret in their daily brew that could significantly reduce the risk of bowel cancer. Research suggests that drinking at least two cups of coffee a day could reduce the risk of bowel cancer recurrence. Even more remarkably, those who drank five or more cups a day had a 32% lower risk of the cancer recurring over the next six years. A daily consumption of 3-5 cups leads to a peak reduction in all-cause mortality of about 29%. Interestingly, excessive coffee consumption offered no additional benefits and could potentially have a negative impact on health. The antioxidant properties of coffee and its potential influence on metabolic pathways are promising areas for further investigation.
