People drinking four cups of coffee each day will protect from mouth cancer, says a recent study.

The reason is down to more 1000 chemicals in coffee, including anti-oxidants, reports 'the Courier Mail.'

Scientists in the US have used data gleaned from nine studies and compared coffee consumption of about 5000 cancer patients and more than 9000 people were found healthy.

They also discovered that daily drinkers of coffee were 39 percent less risky in developing mouth and pharynx cancers than people who did not take coffee

Oral cancer which is caused mostly by smoking and alcohol is on rise with young and middle aged men.
The early stage of symptoms include ulcers that fail to heal, difficulty swallowing or chewing and persistent pain.
