A studious mood by the National Cancer Center in Tokyo of more than 90000 Japanese lay the foundation of that people who drank coffee daily had half the liver cancer risk of those who at no time drank coffee.

They set that the protective effect occurr in populace who drank one to pair cups of coffee a day, and the benefits increased at three to four cups

They were unable to compare the event of regular and decaffeinated coffee however, because decal is rarely consum in Japan.

Although the reason for the risk reduction remains unclear, the team noted that coffee contains large amounts of antioxidants. Several animal studies have indicated that antioxidants have the potential to inhibit liver cancer. The research was published in the

February 16 2005 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
