Coffee appears to be associated with reduced risk of brain cancer, especially in Asian populations, whereas tea only appears to reduce the risk in American populations

In March 2019 researchers from China published their review of the medical scientific literature to assess the association between coffee and tea consumption and brain cancer risk. A total of 11 studies were included in the review. Results showed that coffee consumption was significantly associated with a reduced risk of brain cancer, especially in Asian populations. However, no association between the risk of brain cancer and tea consumption was seen except in the American populations.
