WHO Issues Latest Findings on Coffee, and Cancer

WHO (World Health Organization) has concluded that coffee does not cause cancer.

Rejoice!

The Who division called IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) had previously thought coffee was linked to cancer; but they have now changed their minds, based on additional information.

The only cancer risk related to coffee (or tea ,or any warmed beverages) is if they are too hot. Very hot liquids can stress the throat. Any drink heated to 65 degrees (Celsius) has a cancer risk. The main cancer affected by these very hot liquids is Oesophageal cancer; the 8th most common cancer in the world.

IARC combined the data from over 1,000 studies to reach their conclusion

This New Study is Looking Good!

There are a lot of good reasons to drink coffee - and now it turns out, there is one more.

In a new experiment in mice, researches found that coffee can help keep the eye healthy.

It appears that Chlorogenic Acid, an antioxidant in coffee, prevents age-related retinal degeneration. In general, it may also help prevent other age-related eye diseases This is great news!

And it matches other findings that many people who live to be over 90, often are coffee drinkers - and have good vision.

Coffee Can Help the Retina

The study was done by researchers in the US and in S. Korea. If coffee can help prevent age-related eye disease, it will be a simple way for people to keep healthy. In the experiment, mice were treated with Nitric Oxide, creating oxidative stress and free radicals. This led to some retinal degeneration in the mice.

However, mice that had been given CLA (Chloregnic Acid) before the Nitric Oxide, showed no eye problems or degeneration. The CLA appears to have protected them. This was a very clear experiment to conduct; the Retina is tissue at the back of the eye, and has one of the highest metabolic rates of any tissue, so it needs a lot of Oxygen. It gets damaged easily when deprived of Oxygen.

It is not clear however, if coffee will help the Retina for other causes of Retina degeneration. The original study article has more details. Coffee studies are finding more and more health benefits; we also reported recently on how Coffee can help reduce cancer, Diabetes, and many other health benefits; read more here.
