Endometrial CancerThe authors of the study suggest that coffee alter blood sugar, fat cells and estrogen, which plays a key role in the development of endometrial cancer. Women who drink at least two daily cups of coffee have less risk of developing endometrial cancer, according to a study that found that drinking coffee protected especially women who are overweight or obese.

A team from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, led by Dr. Emilie Friberg, surveyed twice at 60 634 Swedish women, consumption of coffee, when entering the Swedish Mammography Cohort Study between 1987 and 1990, and 1997.

During the 17 years that, on average, the authors controlled for the patients, 677 women (1 percent) developed endometrial cancer. The average age at diagnosis was 67 years.

Those who drank two or more cups daily were significantly less likely to develop endometrial cancer than those who drank less of the infusion.

Each additional cup per day was associated with a 10 percent lower risk of developing cancer, even after considering age and other factors potentially related to the risk of endometrial cancer in the general female population.

But the team also noted that the highest effect the women were obese or overweight, which, according to the team, have “increased risk of endometrial cancer.”

Each additional cup of coffee fell by 12 percent the risk of endometrial cancer in overweight women and 20 percent in the obese, wrote in International Journal of Cancer.

The authors suggest that coffee alter blood sugar, fat cells and estrogen, which plays a key role in the development of endometrial cancer. However, the authors indicated that the new results should be confirmed in other populations.
