Abstract

Can Coffee Ameliorate the Cancer Risks Associated with Low-Moderate Alcohol Consumption in Men?

Alcohol consumption has been reported to increase the risks of several types of cancer, even with moderate levels of consumption. However, in men, but not women, the cancers associated with alcohol consumption have been observed to have decreased incidence in coffee consumers. Possible mechanisms through which coffee might exert a protective effect against these cancers are discussed.
