新的研究发现大量饮用咖啡的男子不太容易罹患致命的前列腺癌。这项最新研究显示，咖啡这种世界上广受欢迎的饮料能够产生对人体有益的效果。
The study included about 50,000 men who reported their coffee consumption in questionnaires every four years. Over more than two decades, the moderate coffee drinkers were somewhat less likely to develop any form of prostate cancer. But lead author Kathryn Wilson of the Harvard School of Public Health says the real difference showed up when the researchers looked at the most serious prostate cancers.
这项研究有5万名男子参加，他们每四年在答卷上报告一次有关咖啡饮用量的问题。经过20多年的追踪调查，咖啡饮用中等的人群不太容易出现任何种类的前列腺癌。但是调查报告的主要撰写人、哈佛大学公共健康学院的凯瑟琳.威尔逊说， 在研究人员观察一些最严重的前列腺患者时，真正的差异显现了出来。
"Men who drink six or more cups of coffee per day had a 60 percent lower risk of lethal prostate cancer than men who drank no coffee," she says. "And we saw this reduction in risk for both regular and decaffeinated coffee."
她说：“每天喝6杯以上咖啡的男人比不喝咖啡的人患前列腺癌症的机会少了60%。我们看到不仅是普通咖啡，去咖啡因的咖啡也有同样功效。”
