Coffee

Hi All

An uncorroborated resport from Sweden has suggested coffee can help prevent hormone receptor positive breast cancer, as well as hamper the growth of cancer cells.

So maybe I should have upped my daily intake before dx from 5 to 10 a day!

Research into DCA (dichloroacetate) (sp?) as a cancer treatment, suggests a beneficial correlation between caffeine and DCA, see link

If we listen to all the scaremongering we may as well eat and drink nothing and give up the ghost !!!

I live on coffee, drinking at least 8 mugs a day. I am 41. I have hormone receptive bc. Apparently they scale how receptive it is from 1-15, and mine is 8.

Coffee doesn’t work - but still tastes great!

I have hormone receptive (ostregen) bc. Consultant said it was very very positive (didn’t know about the 1-15 scale, I will have to ask). Unfortunately I am a coffee holic already. I must have 10 cups a day. But who knows? Perhaps I would have got it earlier if I didn’t try to drown it in coffee, or perhaps I am slowing it down by guzzling the brown stuff? I am willing to drink more to try and prove a point!

I hardly ever drink coffee as I love tea - I was Her2+. I’m surprised tea hasn’t been blamed, I drink about 7 cups a day…

I weigh in as a coffee person
my OH says it is prob in my veins vs blood
used to drink more…now just 2 cups in am
although love green mountain coffee decaf in pm when feeling lush
tis from Vermont in the States and it is wonderful, wonderful coffee

heard about all the good things coffee does…and all I can say is
YES, my bod sure always knew it was a good thing

but surely the reports will be reversed in a month or so…
remember wine??? it was good, good, good for you till it enabled BC…
I think we are on our own really

here’s a cup to you all

I get so fed up of all these reports - let’s face it, just getting up in the morning is bad for you.

No, staying in bed is worse as you are more likely to have a heart attack early hours!!! And then again, if you stay in bed and survive the heart attack, the roof might fall on your head or like that poor person a few weeks ago, a plane might crash into your bedroom!!!

I used to work in the City of London when some of the worst IRA bombings were taking place and was not far from where a car bomb went off one night. My OH also missed getting on one of the trains involved in the Paddington rail crash of the late 90s because his business appointment was cancelled the previous day. You never know what is around the corner.

Just going back to DCA and Jenny’s link…this is important research.

DCA (dichloroacetate) has been found to have successful anti cancer properties in laboratory trials on rodents. Dr Michelakis at the University of Alberta is leading the human trials on the drug. There are many false starts in the search for an effective cancer treatment/even cure and the important thing about DCA is that it just might be a really crucial breakthrough. Trials are going slower than many of us would like…but there might (as Christine MH said on another thread) be some news at the San Antonio conference later this year.

I’m certainly keeping my eyes on news of DCA. (though I won’be buying it on the internet…see anotehr thread) This isn’t just another of ‘those’ stories about this and that alternative remedy or this and that that’s good/bad for us.

Thanks for the link Jenny.
