to prevent brain cancer ...

Not that I have "gone the pot" ... I have not been all day near the computer, so I could not post in due time ... but as the saying goes ... "Better late than never" ... especially for those interested to know that both tea and coffee, say researchers from the Department of Health Univewrsidad Brown, Providence, USA, are able to reduce the risk of brain cancer for those regular users I guess I do not abuse the amount ...

Can coffee and tea reduce the risk of brain cancer?

Researchers have found that regular consumption of coffee and tea may protect against a form of brain cancer.
In fact, recent research suggests that drinking just half a cup of coffee a day may reduce the risk of brain cancer by up to 34%.
Lead researcher Dominique S. Michaud, department of community health at Brown University in Providence, heads an international team reported their findings in the November issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The idea that coffee and tea may provide anticancer benefits to regular drinkers is based on previous research that has shown that these drinks can also reduce the risk of both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
The current initiative explored the possibility that coffee and tea may also protect against brain cancer, notably in the form of glioma, a cancer of the central nervous system that originates in the brain and / or spinal cord.
For this purpose, took the data on the eating habits of more than 410,000 men and women aged between 25 and 70, taken from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, which included people from France, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Great Britain, Greece, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Germany.
Participants were recruited between 1991 and 2000 and were followed for about 8.5 years. During that time, dietary surveys were conducted to evaluate, among other things, the amount of tea and coffee consumed by each participant.
consumption patterns contrast with the incidence of brain cancer, the research team observed consumption of at least 100ml (or 0.4 cups) a day reduced the risk of gliomas by 34%.
As noted by the authors, the protective effect appears to be slightly stronger among men and seems to apply only to gliomas.
However, the mechanism by which coffee may offer this protection is completely unknown, so the researchers said further studies are needed to confirm these findings and determine the origin of the correlation.
