Just saw Samadi on Fox News.
Apparently some Swedish study shows that women with breast cancer who are on tomoxofin (sp?) have much lower chance of the cancer coming back if they drink 3-4 cups of coffee a day.
Samadi said it could be the anti oxidents, but it could also be how the coffee interacts with the Tomoxofin.
I wonder if this extends to all cancer, specially ours, and if the type of coffee makes a difference. Are we talking straight up black coffee without cream and sugar or any type? Do 3-4 espresso a day provide same benefits of huge American watered down cups? Since the study is from Sweden I'm guessing we're talking espresso size and no milk.

I hope there is a benefit from espresso.
I have an espresso machine at my office and my home. I will not count the numbers of espressos in a day for me.
(And, I am not talking lattes or capuccinos. Straight espresso for me!)

Multiple studies have shown the benefit of coffee.

Samadi is a prostate guy, no? Why is fox news asking him about
breast cancer?

Fox has a team of 5 docs they call the A Team or something like that. They discuss all sorts of health issues.
Ed - you really think American coffee is stronger than espresso? Maybe cause i use milk it doesn't seem so.
