This is contradictory to a statement by The Prostate Cancer Charity which would not
that men cultivate a heavy coffee drinking habit on the back of this research.

Up to now, the researchers are still not sure unsure which components of coffee might have a positive effect.

It is known to contain many biologically active compounds, such as minerals and antioxidants, which limit damage to the tissues caused by the release of energy in cells.

The coffee intake of nearly 50,000 men every four years from 1986 to 2006 was documented and studied.

More work is needed before any conclusion can be drawn about the beneficial effects of coffee.

"Our results do suggest there is no reason to stop drinking coffee out of any concern about prostate cancer," said to Dr. Wilson.
