Drinking coffee may reduce the risk of oral cancer

A new study has linked coffee consumption with a reduced risk of developing oral cancer. In a recent study, researchers found that individuals who consumed more than four cups of caffeinated coffee daily had a 49 percent reduced risk of oral or pharyngeal cancer when compared to those who drank no coffee. Additionally, the researchers found that with each cup of coffee consumed, risk of oral or pharyngeal cancer risk reduced further. Read more here.
