drinks Now a new research suggests that if you drink enough coffee it might help you avoid certain kinds of cancer Dr Mia Hashibe of the University of Utah School of Medicine was interested in the connection between coffee drinking and certain cancers of the head and neck Researchers have looked into this before but without reaching any firm conclusions She said So this finding from our new study was quite a surprise We didn t really have any expectation of which direction it could go into To sort out the confusion Hashibe and her assistants used statistical 统计学 techniques to in effect make one big study out of the earlier smaller studies She explained Thanks to the earlier studies we have a lot more power than earlier studies that looked at this And we included 4 000 cancer

The research also shows that women are more likely to do voluntary work while travelling with more than one in ten helping with teaching or development projects One of the reasons given for this is a wish to see the country in an authentic light A greater proportion of women than men face objections or criticism from their families over their gapyear plans Among the men surveyed lack of money is
