For women with the BRCA1 mutation, a specific genetic mutation that puts them at greater risk of developing breast cancer, study results suggest that drinking caffeinated coffee offers a significant level of breast cancer prevention. In a study funded by the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Alliance and National Cancer Institute, researchers examined the records of 1,690 women who have the genetic mutations BRCA1 or BRCA2 and had the women give answers to a questionnaire about coffee consumption. Women who drank one-to-three cups of caffeinated coffee per day reduced their breast cancer risk by 10 percent; women who drank four-to- five cups of caffeinated coffee reduced their breast cancer risk by 25 percent and women who drank six or more cups of caffeinated coffee per day were 69 percent less likely to develop breast cancer than women who drank no coffee.
