In a recent revelation, coffee emerges as a potential ally in alleviating symptoms for cancer patients and as a preventive measure against certain forms of cancer, according to insights shared by Dr. Anton Ivanov, the distinguished oncologist and Chief Physician of the Mamma Clinic, in an interview with Gazeta.Ru.

Dr. Ivanov underscores that the beverage exhibits a protective influence against colorectal, liver, and breast cancers. Notably, the consumption of two cups of coffee daily is associated with a nearly 50% reduction in the risk of developing liver cirrhosis. This remarkable effect is attributed to the presence of various biologically active compounds and plant antioxidants in coffee, such as cafestol, caveol, and chlorogenic acid, which possess anti-inflammatory properties and may safeguard the liver.

Delving into the complexity of coffee’s composition, Dr. Ivanov elucidates that the beverage comprises a rich array of essential components, including over 2,000 items such as fatty acids (linoleic, linolenic, palmitic, etc.) and antioxidants that impede inflammatory processes. These elements collectively play a crucial role in cancer prevention, particularly polyphenols and chlorogenic acid.

Moreover, caffeine, a primary constituent of coffee, undergoes metabolization by liver enzymes, thereby enhancing the initial phase of liver detoxification. Dr. Ivanov references a study conducted by scientists from the National University of Ireland, highlighting caffeine’s ability to suppress the production of the cytokine tumor necrosis factor in human blood. This suppression, in turn, reduces the proliferation of T cells and the production of Th1, Th2, and Th3 cytokines, contributing to coffee’s protective effect against colorectal, liver, and breast cancer.

Despite these promising findings, Dr. Ivanov urges caution, emphasizing that not all scientific studies on coffee present a clear consensus. He advises a moderate approach, suggesting that individuals limit their daily coffee intake to no more than three cups to avoid potential negative health consequences.
