The statistics are relentless - more than half of men over 60 have prostate problems. Some experts add with a condescending smile that the rest are in the same boat, they just don't want to admit it.
Preventive prostate screening should be standard for all men over 50. When a doctor finds any abnormalities, the patient usually goes home with a recommendation to adjust his or her lifestyle. Self-help is to appeal to smokers to quit the habit, doctors also advise limiting alcohol consumption, junk food and also... caffeine.
Caffeine as the culprit?
If your urologist diagnoses you with an enlarged prostate, his advice on lifestyle modification probably won't make you happy. And the question of why you should limit your coffee drinking will inevitably come up. Due to its diuretic effects, coffee affects both the amount of urine and the frequency of urination. If you cut it out for a few days, you may find that a long-standing urinary problem improves.
But that doesn't mean that coffee consumption is to blame for your problems. It merely does nothing to alleviate problems that originate elsewhere.
In the battle over prostate cancer, coffee is on your side
A number of studies have clearly shown that regular coffee drinking reduces the risk of prostate cancer. Antioxidants and other valuable substances in coffee play a role. Scientists have even identified two specific substances that slow the growth of cancer cells. Their levels are highest in unfiltered coffee drinks, such as coffee prepared in a French press.
Coffee filters trap these substances. The positive effects are not influenced by the caffeine content of the drink, so you can expect an effective reduction in prostate cancer risk from both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee.
The analysis of the studies conducted offers some really interesting facts, especially when you consider that the data comes from over a million men studied, 57,723 of whom had prostate cancer. The researchers compared men who were either not drinking coffee at all or less than two cups a day at the start of the study and concluded that.
-
the risk of prostate cancer decreased by 1% with each additional cup of coffee;
-
those who drank two to nine cups of coffee per day had a 9% reduced risk;
-
The risk of fatal prostate cancer was reduced by 16% in men who consumed two to nine cups of coffee per day.
So it can be concluded that drinking fresh coffee is definitely not the cause of prostate problems. Men suffering from prostate enlargement might see an alleviation of urinary problems when they discontinue coffee, as the diuretic effect of coffee can exacerbate these problems.
As for the risk of developing prostate cancer, regular coffee consumption offers more than promising effects.
