I just read an article from The Huffington Post about coffee reducing the risk of certain types of cancer. It looks like it is on a few specific cancers, and the ingredient that helps is caffeine, so this does not count for decaf.
Now this was a research paper presented at the American Association for Cancer Research, but the article in the Huffington post doesn't link to the research. I did a search on the AACR website, but have not yet been able to find it. Perhaps it is still under peer review. When you see an article about a health study, it is always good to look at the research. I'm going to take this article with a grain of salt, we don't know the sample size, and a few other factors that tell us something about how much we can trust the article.
This article tells me a bit more about The Huffington Post that it does about the study for coffee, you should always link to the research source, or explain why it isn't available!
