FACT CHECK #VODID0TN

WHAT WE FOUND

Imagine being so scientifically illiterate that you mistake your morning latte for a biohazard. Every major health organization—from the American Cancer Society 1 to the World Health Organization 1113—has explicitly stated there is no conclusive evidence that coffee causes cancer 10. In fact, the actual experts suggest that drinking coffee reduces the risk of liver, womb, and endometrial cancers 2469. While some legal drama in California briefly forced a warning label due to acrylamide 7, real scientists pointed out that the amount present in coffee makes no observable contribution to cancer risk 8. Unless you are drinking your brew at temperatures that literally melt your esophagus 1015, your biggest threat is your own stupidity. Current research indicates that coffee is actually cancer-protective thanks to its high concentration of polyphenols 14, meaning your daily habit is likely the only thing keeping your cells in check 3512.
