New findings add to mounting evidence suggesting that tea consumption may lower the risk of developing prostate cancer.
The findings are based on a population-based case-control study conducted in King County, Washington. The study, by Milan S. Geybels, MSc, of the Department of Epidemiology, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands, and colleagues examined associations between PCa risk and tea and coffee consumption. The tea-related analysis focused on 863 PCa cases and 863 controls; the coffee-related analysis included 894 cases and 860 controls.
