CancerReduction by Italian-style coffee consumption of prostate cancer risk (>3 cups/day) was observed in a cohort study (n=6,989). Caffeine appeared to exert both antiproliferative and antimetastatic activity on two prostate cancer cell lines, thus providing cellular confirmation for the cohort study.

CancerSpermidine—a compound found in foods like aged cheese, mushrooms, soy products, legumes, corn, and whole grains—seems to prevent (at least in animal models) liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common type of liver cancer. There is also some evidence that it may prolong lifespan.
