Prevention of prostate cancer using coffee was reported in the Health Day Reporter in 2001. Read all about it.

The most common cancer diagnosed and the second leading cause of death in men is prostate cancer. That is the bad news, but the good news was published by Steven Reinbery in the Health Day Reporter on May 17 2001 regarding the possible prevention of prostate cancer.
According to the article, prostate cancer was cut by 60 percent in men drinking six plus cups of coffee daily.
Kathryn Wilson, a lead researcher in epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston states, "There are a lot of compounds in coffee that have various biological effects. It's a major source of antioxidants and that might have anti-cancer effects."
About the prostate:
The prostate is a gland that only men have in their bodies. The prostate begins it's development even before a woman gives birth. It begins as a very small gland and continues to grow as a man reaches adulthood. Androgens, which are male hormones, are responsible for the growth of the prostate. The urethra is a tube that carries urine and runs through the middle of the prostate gland.
Pin (or prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia) are very small changes in the size and shape of the prostate. Many doctors believe that prostate cancer starts with these tiny changes. By the time a man reaches the age of fifty, he will have pin.
With pin, there are visual changes detected with a microscope, but the cells stay where they are, versus cancer cells which spread through the prostate. These cell changes are either low-grade changes, considered almost normal, or high-grade changes, considered abnormal.
There are different types of cells in the prostate, however, nearly all prostate cancers begin in the prostate's gland cells and are called adenocarcinoma.
Even though prostate cancer can grow quickly, that is not often the case. Studies have shown that many men who died of other illnesses had prostate cancer which had never caused them problems. These studies indicated that between seven to nine out of ten men had developed prostate cancer by the age of eighty and neither they nor their doctors were aware of it.
To all you coffee lovers out there... I have been drinking coffee for over 43 years and have never had a better cup than this brand of Kona Coffee. Immediately, I could taste the difference in what I had been drinking and this cup of perfection was worlds apart from an ordinary cup of coffee. It's like I had been consuming an acidic, watered-down version of coffee and not realizing it. I like the fact that the growers take great care in producing only the finest coffee bean. This coffee is now the only coffee I will drink! Once you have experienced this delectable, flavorful cup of coffee, I can promise you there is no settling for less than the best.

Just wanted to thank you on the excellent coffee.
I ordered some dark roast a month ago and gave it a try at work on my little coffeemaker. The office smelled great and the taste was outstanding. I did give away a few cups because our office coffee is garbage but I am a bit greedy with my supplies when it comes to that kind of quality.
I gave folks your site but I think other folks can get their own.
Good stuff.

I absolutely love your coffee! I've never been a big coffee drinker until now. I can literally sit at my desk and drink cup after cup after cup. Not only does it give me a burst of energy, but it smells amazing and is very delicious. Definitely has a sweeter taste than any other coffee I have ever tasted. Usually, most coffee is sort of bitter. Not this coffee. The Kaluli coffee is wonderful! I love it.

I've been a coffee drinker for years now. When I lived in the Bay Area I had a favorite cafe that made the best coffee and I was a loyal customer. Recently, I found the tastiest coffee I've ever had and the best part is, I don't have to go to a cafe to find it. I can order it from the comfort of my own home! It's the Ferrari of coffee. It's so full of flavor, it makes Starbucks and Coffee Bean's stuff taste like bitter water. You've got to try a cup for yourself.

My name is Lara and I would like to tell you how great I think the Kona Coffee is. It is so great that I normally drink 2 cups of it.

This is my day. Bweeeep! Bweeeeep! Bweeeeeep! Goes the alarm. The shrill sound is a cruel reminder that there is no early morning forest bird waking you today. Wap! Yes, that was your head hitting the cabinet doors since you're stumbling towards the grinder with your eyes closed. You finally reach it, you pour into the grinder the most delicious coffee beans ever tasted. You turn on the grinder and it makes short aromatic work of your favorite, the dark roast. Only the dark roast will do. Especially on cold, dark mornings. 4 agonizingly slow minutes later, the steaming, fragrant elixir is in your cup. A sip or two into it, the alarm is forgotten, the head is not throbbing, and you swear you can hear those birds! You silently promise yourself that the next time you travel to Kona, Hawaii; you're bringing an empty suitcase to fill with bags of this coffee! At the end of the cup, the world is just a bit brighter, maybe a bit warmer, and you decide sandals should be perfectly appropriate business attire for the day ;-) Thanks for the great coffee!

To whom it may concern:
My name is Jason from Galveston, Texas and love Kona Coffee! I've been a Folgers coffee drinker since I can remember.. I had a cup of Kona Coffee for the first time a couple days ago and my taste buds went crazy!!... I must confess, I switched to Kona Coffee and if I can share a slogan it would be "Kona... bringing a taste of paradise to your home."
Regards,
