XVII- 6 - Ovarian cancer risk reduction: “Black tea consumption was associated with a linear decline
in ovarian cancer risk, with individuals consuming two or more cups daily experiencing a 30%
decline in risk (OR 0.70). Similar declines were noted among individuals consuming two or more cups
of decaffeinated coffee daily (OR 0.71). However, no association was noted between any level of regular
coffee consumption and risk of ovarian cancer. The chemoprotective effects of phytochemicals in
black tea and decaffeinated coffee may be important, although the effects of phytochemicals in regular
coffee may be counteracted by the elevated risk associated with its higher caffeine content.”(Baker J A,
and others).
XVII- 7 -Parkinson’s disease risk reduction: “Coffee and tobacco, but not caffeine or nicotine, are
neuroprotective in fly Parkinson's disease models... Decaffeinated coffee and nicotine-free tobacco
are as neuroprotective as their caffeine and nicotine-containing counterparts... A known Nrf2 activator
in coffee, cafestol, is also able to confer neuroprotection in our fly models of Parkinson's
disease.”(Trinh K, and others).
“The primary metabolite of caffeine, paraxanthine (1,7-dimethylxanthine), was strongly protective
against neurodegeneration and loss of synaptic function in a culture system of selective dopaminergic
cell (neurons) death. In contrast, caffeine itself afforded only marginal protection.” (Guerreiro S, and
others).
“Use of hormones was associated with a reduced risk of Parkinson’s disease among women with
low caffeine consumption, and with increased risk among women with high caffeine consumption.
Among hormone users, women consuming six or more cups of coffee per day had a fourfold higher
risk of Parkinson’s Disease.” (Ascherio A, and others).
“Ever having smoked cigarettes was associated with a reduced risk of Parkinson’s disease. There
was a reasonably strong inverse risk gradient for tea (two cups/day or more), a weaker inverse gradient
for cola drinks (two or more cola drinks/day) with Parkinson’s disease risk”. (Checkoway H, and others).
“Black tea, a caffeine-containing beverage, showed an inverse association with Parkinson's disease
risk that was not confounded by total caffeine intake or tobacco smoking. Green tea drinking was unrelated
to Parkinson's disease risk. Ingredients of black tea other than caffeine appear to be responsible
for the beverage's inverse association with Parkinson's disease.” (Tan L C, and others).
“We observed reduced risk for Parkinson's disease among ever smokers, current smokers, and exsmokers”.
(Dong J Q, and others).
“We found an inverse relationship between ever cigarette smoking and Parkinson’s disease. Among
men, an inverse association (with Parkinson’s disease) was also present among subjects professionally
exposed to pesticides.”(Galanaud J P, and others).
“Higher cigarette consumption was associated with lower risk of Parkinson’s disease.... Higher caffeine
consumption was also associated with lower risk of Parkinson’s disease...Higher alcohol consumption
was also associated with lower risk of Parkinson’s disease.” (Evans A H, and others).
To the patients already with Parkinson’s disease, ever smoking increases the incidence of Dementia:
“Our study showed a positive association between smoking and dementia in the setting of Parkinson’s
Disease.” (Levy G, and others).
Which physician, in order to prevent Parkinson’s disease, will prescribe:
To all women that they must smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day for many years, drink alcohol and
much black tea daily, and never use hormones?
To all men that they must drink daily some pesticide (which one?), besides drinking alcohol, coffee
and smoking? That would not cause any fright: caffeine already is a pesticide! The patient can die,
but will not suffer from Parkinson’s disease.
XVII- 8 -Rectal cancer risk reduction: “During almost 2 million person-years of follow-up, 1438
cases of colorectal cancer were observed. Consumption of caffeinated coffee or tea with caffeine or
caffeine intake was not associated with the incidence of colon or rectal cancer. However, participants
who regularly consumed two or more cups of decaffeinated coffee per day had a 52% lower incidence
of rectal cancer than those who never consumed decaffeinated coffee.” (Michels K B, and others).
