As of today, research from the Philippine Cancer Control Program under the Department of Health has determined that in every 100,000 Filipinos, there is an incidence of 189 who have cancer — a total of 96 new cases a day. The number will only increase in the coming years as the population grows.
The Role of Coffee
Treatment for cancer is expensive, but experts suggest that one can minimize the risks by living a healthy lifestyle. And coffee — real, brewed coffee — plays a surprising role.
According to studies published in the British Medical Journal, regular coffee consumption is associated with:
- 18% lower risk of developing cancer overall
- Reduced risk of liver cancer by up to 40%
- Lower incidence of colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer
Why Brewed Coffee?
The key compounds are chlorogenic acid and other polyphenols — powerful antioxidants that protect cells from DNA damage. These are most concentrated in freshly brewed coffee, not instant.
Instant coffee undergoes heavy processing that strips many of these beneficial compounds. When you brew from whole beans or fresh grounds, you preserve the full spectrum of antioxidants.
