It seems incredible, right? However, a recent study developed by a group of researchers in London suggests that consumption of tea and coffee could help reduce the risk of developing the most common form of malignant brain tumor. Further studies are still needed, but this discovery could help identify the causes of this disease.

The results of recent research provided a new data that may influence the prevention of brain tumors and a very simple way, how? Through the consumption of tea and coffee.

We analyze data from more than 500,000 adults in Europe, which together evidence linking high consumption of coffee and tea with a reduced risk of gliomas (a set of brain tumors accounted for 80% of malignant cancers in this area between adults).

Malignant gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults. Globally is estimated to cause 2% of cancer deaths. Particularly in the United States the mortality rate for this condition causes about 12,000 deaths a year, while in Europe, the annual rates are 4 to 6 cases per 100,000 women and 6 to 8 cases per 100,000 men.

A group of researchers from Brown University and Imperial College London, whose principal author Dominique Michaud, said this study is a preliminary approach to the topic that could provide new clues for further research and identify the causes of these tumors.

These findings do not prove that tea may provide protection. Experts say that even though both drinks had any direct effect on the risk of gliomas, it would be small.

The results of this research, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, stem from a study that considered the potential risk factors of cancer in 10 European countries. On the one hand, patients who participated were between 25 and 70, and responded to questionnaires about their medical history, diet, exercise, smoking and other factors of your lifestyle.

Then the research team focused on more than 410,000 people who did not have any cancer at the start of the investigation, which had complete dietary information and followed for over 8 years. During that time, 343 participants were diagnosed with glioma and 245 other benign brain tumor called meningioma.

Initially, participants were divided into four and five groups, according to the consumption of coffee and tea, but in this case did not detect a dose-response relationship. In other words, there was greater protection from over tea and coffee drinking. Changed when data were analyzed two particular groups: those who consumed at least half a cup (150 ml) and those who drank less or nothing for both infusions. Just found that those who consumed more infusions were a third less likely to develop glioma. Even after considering factors such as age and smoking, no relation to the risk of developing meningioma.

In addition, tea and coffee contain antioxidants that protect body cells from damage that can cause cancer and other diseases.

Anyway, it is possible that those who drink tea and coffee often have other factors that could affect the possibility of developing a glioma. Such characteristics are unknown, and the causes of most brain tumors.

Gliomas can give various symptoms. For example: headaches (which are usually worse in the morning), nausea and vomiting, changes in the ability to speak, hear or see, problems with balance or walking, as well as thinking or memory, muscle spasms numbness or tingling in the arms or legs.

In life and health of the studies we are awaiting to be developed in the future and keep you informed.
