Did you think your morning cup of tea or coffee was just a way of surviving a rude awakening? Think again. These beverages could also reduce your risk of developing certain cancers, according to a vast analysis published in the scientific journal, Cancer.
Cancers of the head and neck, including those of the mouth, throat and pharynx, are among the most common forms of the disease. They account for 4% of all cancers diagnosed worldwide, according to the Anticancer Fund and the European Society for Medical Oncology. Some studies have suggested a possible link between coffee or tea consumption and an increased risk of developing this type of cancer, but there is insufficient evidence to confirm this.
