Coffee just got healthier:
A research team in Japan has identified how caffeic acid, a polyphenol found in coffee, can suppress the growth of colorectal cancer cells. The findings point to a possible role in treatment and prevention, though the work is still in its early stages. Earlier epidemiological studies had suggested that people who drink coffee may face a lower risk of developing colorectal cancer. What was not clear was which components of coffee were responsible, or how they act in the body.

Caffeic acid suppresses cyclin D1 expression by directly binding to ribosomal protein S5 in colorectal cancer cells - Scientific Reports
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and dietary components such as coffee have been epidemiologically associated with a reduced risk of CRC. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this effect remain elusive. In this study, we found that caffeic...
