5/17 Science Blog: Are coffee drinkers less prone to aggressive breast cancer?

http://health.yahoo.net/news/s/hsn/arecoffeedrinkerslesspronetoaggressivebreastcancer


I think that it is amazing that drinking coffee can reduce the amount of breast cancer. Before, there was no cure for breast cancer, and then just by some swedish women, there is a way to reduce breast cancer. It is not a cure, but I am almost sure that scientists will figure out a cure for breast cancer, by using the discovery that coffee reduces breast cancer. I think the key is to find out what kind of coffee reduces breast cancer and to find out which ingredient in particular reduces the chance of breast cancer. Sooner or later, I know that there will be a cure for breast cancer.
