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
So keep drinking your coffee - with no worries!
