Singaporean coffee protects smokers from cancer

by Emily Co on March 2, 2010

Wow, not only does Singaporean coffee, or kopi, taste damn good, but it apparently has desirable health benefits too.  A study by the University of Minnesota has found that drinking two cups daily will help stave off advanced colon cancer for smokers.

Sabrina Peterson from the University of Minnesota says:

“Singapore Chinese prepare coffee in a way that likely preserves the putative chemoprotectants, cafestol and kahweol, that have been the primary focus of basic science investigations of coffee and cancer prevention.”
