COFFEE MAY LOWER BREAST CANCER RISK FOR SOME WOMEN
NEW YORK - Women with BRCA1 gene mutations, which confer a
high risk of developing breast cancer, might decrease their
risk by drinking a lot of coffee, according to a multicenter
team of investigators. Dr. Steven A. Narod, of the University
of Toronto, Ontario, and colleagues examined the association
between coffee consumption and the risk of breast cancer
among 1690 high-risk women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.
The study included women from 40 clinical centers in four
countries. A self-administered questionnaire was used to
assess the average lifetime coffee consumption.
The likelihood of developing breast cancer among BRCA muta-
tion carriers who drank 1 to 3 cups of coffee daily, 4 to 5
cups, or 6 or more cups was reduced by 10 percent, 25 percent
and 69 percent, respectively, compared to those who drank no
coffee, according to the report in the International Journal
of Cancer.
When the investigators classified the women by mutation
status, they found significant protection from coffee for
women with a BRCA1 mutation, but not for carriers of a BRCA2
mutation.
The investigators note that coffee is an important source of
phytoestrogens, which may have protective effects.
"The mechanism by which phytoestrogens may beneficially
influence the risk of breast cancer has predominantly been
attributed to their structural similarity to endogenous
estrogens and their ability to bind to estrogen receptors,"
Narod and colleagues explain.

The American Council on Science and Health advises making
health maintenance a top New Year's resolution. The group
of science and medical professionals gives 12 health-

exercising 30 to 45 minutes three to five times a week.
--Handle foods safely by washing hands and surfaces,
avoiding cross-contamination, cooking to proper

--If you drink, do so in moderation.
--Get regular preventive care, such as screening tests
