UN: Coffee no longer deemed possible carcinogen ……. FOX

The World Health Organization’s research arm has downgraded its classification of coffee as a possible carcinogen, declaring there isn’t enough proof to show a link to cancer.

But the International Agency for Research on Cancer, or IARC, also announced in a report published on Wednesday that drinking “very hot” beverages of any kind could potentially raise the cancer risk.

In particular, it cited countries including China, Iran and those in South America, where teas such as the bitter herbal infusion mate are traditionally drunk at extremely high temperatures — above 65 or 70 degrees Celsius (150 or 160 Fahrenheit) — considerably hotter than drinks would normally be served in cafes across North America and Europe.

Experts convened by the Lyon-based IARC concluded that there was inadequate evidence to suggest coffee might cause cancer, according to a letter published in the Lancet Oncology.

“I’m not really sure why coffee was in a higher category in the first place,” said Owen Yang, an epidemiologist at Oxford University who has previously studied the possible link between coffee and cancer. He was not part of the IARC expert group. “The best evidence available suggests that coffee does not raise the cancer risk,” he said.

Drinking very hot beverages, however, just might.

Dana Loomis, deputy head of the IARC program that classifies carcinogens, said they began to look into a possible link after seeing unusually high rates of esophageal cancer in countries where drinking very hot beverages is common. He said that even at temperatures below 60 degrees Celsius (140 Fahrenheit), hot beverages can scald the skin, and that consuming drinks at even higher temperatures could be harmful.

Loomis said very hot beverages might cause a “thermal injury” in the throat that could eventually promote the growth of tumors, but that evidence was limited. He said there wasn’t enough evidence to suggest if eating very hot food might also be risky.

Other experts said that people should remain focused on the leading causes of cancers including of the esophagus and that there were more important changes they could make other than waiting for their drinks to cool.

“Quitting smoking and reducing alcohol consumption are much more significant for reducing cancer risk than the temperature of what you’re drinking,” said Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society. Brawley said the cancer risk posed by drinking hot beverages was similar to that posed by eating pickled vegetables.

Still, he welcomed the news that coffee would no longer be deemed a possible carcinogen.

“As a heavy coffee drinker, I have always enjoyed my coffee guilt-free,” he said. “But now there is scientific evidence to justify that.”

  1. Of both is certainly have some pull.

    It is certainly sarcastic to say, pull the coffee or Tea
    but it takes time until the pleasure is present in the full flavor.
    Tea without sugar has not the best tasting coffee it’s turn
    a question of the human individual to the taste.
    Cancer is bitter in the human anatomy, as is known a cancer
    Disease which is spreading in the body and not always good no, you
    can be also malicious and therefore to death execution.
    Now is in the evolution of the human spirit of progress of cells.
    many things has become known.
    Progress in exploring a form dependent in the body of a cultural
    briefly and succinctly in the vernacular of cancer.
    Crawling, hiding, not immediately identifiable and with hard to
    determine its type.
    Possible indications:
    Milk, meat, grain, DNA, anti smallpox cultures, now also coffee and
    Tea but since goods or gamma rays and UV resistance.
    Now I come thank goodness of a Primate from so a way of life
    or individual developing can that is in a stage of the learning process.
    you could also say you can develop an intelligence, logical
    or illogical his behavior in the evolution of the development of the
    Body in the cognition of primates humans. So I wanted to just
    Determine it was not me who found this out, no, there was a
    Transmission of the human mind to my learning process.
    It was also found that intelligence is not innate and the one this
    IQ factors could compete on a scale (0; 1-100 and or more than 100).
    I’m in my opinion if I even like in about 3-30? can
    be or in the IQ.
    Topic missed we went to coffee and tea, and a serious
    Matter but should take many things into consideration provision
    is also care… or the intelligence of the worse in the tree
    Physical destruction to prevent or treat for life
    his cell in DNA inheritance.

    Eines ist gewiss beides muss etwas Ziehen .

    Es ist sicher Sarkastisch zu sagen , das Kaffee ziehen muss bzw.Tee
    aber es braucht seine Zeit bis der Genuss vorhanden ist im vollen Geschmack.
    Tee ohne Zucker hat nicht den besten Geschmack bei Kaffee ist es wiederum
    eine Frage des Menschlichen Individuum zu dem Geschmack.
    Krebs ist bitter in der Menschlichen Anatomie ,wie bekannt ist Krebs eine
    Krankheit die sich Ausbreitet im Körper und nicht immer gut ist ,nein Sie
    kann auch bösartig sein und von daher zum Tod Führen .
    Nun ist in der Evolution des Menschlichen Geistes des Fortschritts von Zellen ,
    so manches Bekannt geworden .
    Fortschritt der Erkundung eines im Körper von einer Kultur abhängigen Form
    kurz und knapp im Volksmund Krebs .
    Kriechend ,Versteckend , nicht gleich Identifizierbar und mit unter Schwer zu
    bestimmen in seiner Art .
    Mögliche Hinweise :
    Milch ,Fleisch , Getreide , DNA , Antipocken Kulturen , nun auch Kaffee und
    Tee aber da Waren noch Gamma Strahlen und UV Beständigkeit .
    Nun stamme ich Gott sei Dank von einem Primaten ab also einer Lebensform
    oder Individuum das ,sich Entwickeln kann in einer Stufe des Lernprozesses,
    also man könnte auch sagen man kann eine Intelligenz Entwickeln , Logisch
    oder Unlogisch zu seinem Verhalten in der Evolution der Entwicklung des
    Körpers in der Erkenntnis des Primaten Mensch . Also ich wollte hier nur
    Feststellen nicht ich war es der dies Heraus fand ,nein es gab eine
    Übertragung des Menschlichen Verstandes zu meinen Lernprozess .
    Man fand auch Heraus das Intelligenz nicht angeboren ist und das man diese
    in IQ Faktoren messen kann auf einer Skala (0 ;1-100 und oder mehr 100) .
    Ich liege nach meiner Einschätzung wenn ich mal mag in etwa 3-30? kann
    sein oder im IQ.
    Thema Verfehlt wir waren bei Kaffee und Tee und einer Ernsten
    Angelegenheit aber dennoch sollte viele Dinge in Betracht ziehen, Vorsorge
    ist auch Fürsorge … oder die Intelligenz Schlimmeres in der Struktur der
    Körperlichen Vernichtung zu Verhindern oder zu Behandeln für das Leben
    seiner Zelle in der DNA Vererbung .
