Geee Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Washington Examiner: Coffee junkies rejoice, unless you drink your coffee very hot. A World Health Organization panel found no conclusive evidence that drinking coffee causes cancer. However, you'd better watch out for other hot beverages such as tea. The International Agency for Research on Cancer, the WHO's cancer agency, found that drinking very hot beverages probably causes esophagus cancer in humans. The agency describes "very hot" as beverages consumed at temperatures above 149 degrees Fahrenheit. Many coffee shops including Starbucks serve their coffee as high as 180 degrees. The agency deemed that drinking coffee was possibly carcinogenic to humans in 1991. But after looking at more than 1,000 studies in humans and animals, the agency found there was "inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of coffee drinking overall."
