The Executive Director of the International Coffee Organization (ICO), Robério Silva in an exclusive interview with Coffee Break, said the situation of coffee producers of the five countries he visited in Central America is "distressing and disturbing." Robério visited Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica to check closely the damage caused by the outbreak of rust in coffee. "Come on in the crop and realized what caused the disease, all the foliage is on the ground," said the director of the ICO.

Drinking coffee can cut in half the risk of recurrence of breast cancer. Is the conclusion of a study by scientists at the University of Lund (Sweden) and published in the journal Cancer Causes Control.
A team of researchers followed more than 600 patients with breast cancer for about five years. Approximately half of them took the drug Tamoxifeno. The patients taking this medicine and who consumed two or more cups of coffee per day had a rate of recurrence of breast cancer more than 50% lower compared with patients taking Tamoxifeno but did not drink coffee.
