The study was done by the Istituto Neurologico Mediterraneo Neuromed in Italy, home of the espresso, according to the Daily Mail. Researchers there monitored 7,000 men in the Molise region for four years and took note of their coffee consumption. That data was compared with the occurrence of prostate cancer, and researchers found a 53 percent lower risk in those who drank at least three cups per day.

But it’s important to remember where this study went down.

Licia Iacoviello, head of the Molecular and Nutritional Epidemiology Laboratory, said of the participants: “They prepare coffee [in a] rigorously Italian way: high pressure, very high water temperature, and with no filters.

When it comes to coffee, drink like the Italians.
