The Link Between Caffeine And Cancer

A few decades ago women were told NOT to drink caffeine because it was thought to cause breast cancer. There was such a major scare going on nationwide, in fact worldwide, that all kinds of products began manufacturing caffeine-free alternatives. Decaffeinated coffees became the big thing and everyone breathed a sigh of relief that they had FINALLY eliminated one of the major known causes for cancer. But in light of recent research over the past several years it appears that some, if not most, of that information was inaccurate or incomplete. In fact there is an abundance of documented scientific data that proves otherwise. Scientific tests and clinical analysis have shown that caffeine may even be instrumental in preventing certain forms of cancer.

While it is never safe or advisable to state absolutely that such and such a substance or nutrient will definitely prevent or cure cancer, it is a good idea to look at what research has to offer. Alternative medicine in other countries that are not controlled by the AMA have shown incredible successes where our traditional pharmaceuticals have often failed. That being said, understand that the information provided here is based on research and is not meant to treat or diagnose cancer or any other disease for that matter.

What scientists noticed was that certain cells, when exposed to caffeine, died at a normal rate. When not exposed to caffeine they died and mutated at an abnormal rate which is, in simple terms, what cancer is. It is known by the scientific community that caffeine helps to protect against UV radiation which can lead to skin cancer.

Again, this is not meant to diagnose or treat any diseases. But, it might be incentive to go out and enjoy a steaming hot cappuccino!
