Study Suggests Moderate Coffee and Tea May Be Tied to Lower Lung Cancer Risk

"Compared with non-coffee drinkers, people reporting 0.5 to 1 cup of coffee per day had a 28% lower risk of lung cancer, while those reporting 2 to 3 cups had a 23% lower risk."

"Tea showed a similar pattern, though the high-intake group still showed a lower risk than non-tea drinkers. Relative to non-tea drinkers, those reporting 0.5 to 1 cup per day had a 20% lower risk."

A study of 276,209 adults over 13.26 years found that moderate coffee and tea consumption is linked to a reduced risk of lung cancer. Participants consuming 0.5 to 1 cup of coffee daily had a 28% lower risk, while those with 2 to 3 cups had a 23% lower risk. Tea drinkers also showed reduced risk, with 0.5 to 1 cup leading to a 20% lower risk and 2 to 3 cups resulting in a 33% lower risk. The study is observational and requires further research to confirm findings.
