Gliomas are a group of tumors that make up about 80 percent of malignant brain cancer cases in adults.<\/p>\n<p>While this is potentially good news, it doesn&#8217;t mean that people should start drinking coffee for tumor prevention. For one, tumors are generally rare. The odds that you will develop a malignant brain tumor in your lifetime are less than one percent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is all very preliminary,&#8221; said lead researcher Dominique Michaud, of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, and Imperial College London. &#8220;This study shouldn&#8217;t be the reason that anyone changes their coffee or tea intake.&#8221;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The value lies more in potentially revealing more about the causes of brain tumors, something experts know little about.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the study, 521,488 men and women between 25 and 70 years old completed detailed questionnaires regarding their medical history, diet, exercise habits, <a title=\"Smoking and Obesity are Equally Fatal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/03\/smoking-and-obesity-are-equally-fatal\/\" target=\"_self\">smoking<\/a> and other lifestyle factors.<\/p>\n<p>Michaud&#8217;s team focused on more than 410,000 participants who were cancer-free to begin with and had their complete dietary information. Over an average of 8.5 years of follow-up, 343 of these men and women were diagnosed with glioma; another 245 were diagnosed with a different type of tumor, which is usually benign (meningioma).<\/p>\n<p>Those participants who averaged at least 3.5 ounces of coffee or tea a day were three times less likely to be diagnosed with glioma than those who drank less or no coffee or tea.<\/p>\n<p>One potential reason for this comes from a separate study, which found that caffeine appeared to slow the growth of a type of glioma called glioblastoma.
