That article from Ramunas was very interesting. Thank you for putting the link in!

I agree Chrysalis (I’m a big coffee drinker too).

Thanks Ramunas. I’m working on a follow-up article that more clearly shows the molecular mechanism. I thought your review of genes linked to breast cancer this year was very interesting. For readers who are interested, you can read Ramunas’ article here:

Wonderful review ! Coffee consumption was linked to protection in BRCA1 mutation carriers in several previous studies (it looked like anecdotal finding), but this article provides the first explanation of this finding on a molecular level. One step further for individualized cancer risk reduction (threefold!). And caffeine impact to cardivascular system also seems not so bad as it was thought previously (I am a heavy coffee drunker, BTW:)
