Yuck. You'd have to show me the kinds of cancers and prove I am at risk for them before I'd drink that nasty, bitter brew. Ew!-
Yes if that is for healty. But in other study that coffee is not to good for your healty too if you drink to much. A lot of cafeine. -

Well then I guess I'm cancer proof..
And no, I don't think increasing the dose would do anything. I'm pretty much marinated in coffee as it is.-
You an' me both. I no longer have blood, just coffee in my veins
-
another of my vices!
I wish I could practice more moderation in my life
-
Yeah, if they perhaps gave me a coffee IV, that'd be more. Otherwise, I think my pot-and-a-half a day is enough.

Actually studies have shown that drinking green tea reduces cancer.
Studies done on people living in China determined that green tea reduces the chances of cancer.
So I prefer Green tea anyway than coffee (that dirt water), plus green tea has shown to burn 900-1000 sugar calories a day helping to reduce weight gain.
Coffee has a slimy oil and that can't possibly be good for the lining of your stomach walls.
Coffee also raises your blood sugar levels causing you to want to eat more and more.
It effects your hunger and since your blood sugar raises so do your chances of getting diabetes. -
Is that why I eat so much? I drink a lot of coffee and have to eat like every two or three hours. And, yet, I couldn't gain a pound if I had to.-
Beign overweight is also a risk for cancer and other diseases. If you drink coffee and you are not overweight, according to the study you have eliminated two risk factors

There are always pro's and cons to doing almost anything (or in this case, eating or drinking almost anything). It all boils down too.... Everything in moderation. Although I agree with Jeunelle's point about green tea, that is fact, and spreads to almost any aspect of cancer rather than just a few "certian" types :P! -
I love to drink coffee in the morning. I like the taste of coffee. My husband will drink a strong cup of coffee to get his asthma under control. It works every time! So coffee is a staple in our house. -
I will also add that most coffee drinkers have some form of diabetes.
Studies show that most people who drink coffee aren't even aware that they have diabetes,
until they have a doctor's blood test check up. -
I am so sick of these types of PR releases, I bet if you look into it one of the major Coffee companies was the main sponsor of the research.
One week it's you need to drink more milk the next week, milk is bad you have to eat figs, I wish they would all fig off.-
@aningeniousname...agreed...they do seem to change their story as time goes on. One day they tell you tomatoes are good for you and the next day they tell you they're cancerous.

I'd much prefer another cup of coffee over using my inhaler! -
do you have a URL for this new study?-

Lot's of information comes up on a Google search type in "studies on coffee causes cancer", and there's lots to read. -
that article is old news (2006) .. I thought there was a "new" study about 20 hours ago, but couldn't find anything in the google search.
Discussions like these should have related links, don't you think? -
They should but I don't have time to find what I already know.
If the Google search doesn't pull it up, I am clueless as to why.
Maybe Dunkin Donuts paid Google to keep that bit of information out of the Google search

If only coffee was the cure-all thing to drink, I have become somewhat of a caffiene addict lately, I can't get through a day at college without some yummy coffee. -
I already drink 8 cups a day. How much more should I drink?-
If you don't stop blinking for periods of time, you haven't had enough.

@psychosolodiver...GAWD you must pee a lot...your bladder is working overtime
and your kidneys. Good God people....Dr Foster has left the building.

Oh please don't try to get me to drink more coffee. I drink enough for me and ten people! I don't think my passengers can handle me on more coffee. -
LOL, i didn't know i was reducing my risk of cancer! Drink On!! -
when, where, who, how ?
plz be more acurate -
My wife and I already grind 2lbs a week... I'm not sure more than that is a good idea, but I'm willing to find out. -
Jeez, who needs an excuse to drink more coffee? -
Seriously?! Coffee is TERRIBLE for you! -
-
I Apologise for yesterday's blank post everyone.
Here are some figures about the amount of coffee used in the study.
If I hear of any more studies on coffee I will be the first to blog about them.

That hot cup of coffee may do more than just provide a tasty energy boost. It also may help prevent the most common type of liver cancer.
A study of more than 90,000 Japanese found that people who drank coffee daily or nearly every day had half the liver cancer risk of those who never drank coffee.
The American Cancer Society estimates that 18,920 new cases of liver cancer were diagnosed in the United States last year and some 14,270 people died of the illness. Causes include hepatitis, cirrhosis, excess alcohol consumption and diseases causing chronic inflammation of the liver. source: www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6975257/

Who really needs another excuse to drink more coffee.
If you read the studies carefully what most of the pro coffee studies find is it is black coffee that provides the benefits, not the way most people worldwide drink it. As for Jeunelle asserion that most people have some sort of diabetes, I would like to see the studies that show it is from the coffee and not the 1/4 cup each of milk and sugar most people dump into it, or worse yet all the non fat non dairy high carbohydrate creamer they dump into. There are as many studies that show coffee and caffeine help regulate blood sugars as there are that say it raises it, and probably a hundred times as many that show it does both but aren't published because it doesn't benefit the study groups preconceived notions. As someone who can sit down with with a glucometer and a database, something I did for 3 months to show my doctor, I can unquestionably prove that black coffee had with meals and through out a the day lowers my blood sugar and keeps it lower. (For the record I have had a mild form of diabetes all my life so coffee drinking has nothing to do with it and probably helped control it most of my teen years)
Like all stimulants caffeine is an appetite suppressant which isn't always a bad thing either. it is the perfect cure for people who need to eat small meals but are always hungry. It also provides a measurable metabolic jolt meaning you burn calories more efficiently. -
Sounds like a good idea to me....
(I drink coffee black, by the way--no milk, cream, or sugar)
(except if I have to drink gas station coffee--then I use lots of sugar, but that doesn't happen often) -
I love coffee and have been worried about several friends and family members with cancers lately. I'm glad to hear my coffee habit is actually helpful. I drink really strong, rich coffee from konaluna.com because I find Hawaiian coffee the most delicious and satisfying. -
I drink about 6-10 cups of coffee a day, but I do it because I enjoy it, not because of the host of health benefits it has. It has its ups and downs. I have to make sure I get enough calcium, and sometimes I have heartburn because of the acidity, but I've never had any trouble sleeping because of my coffee habits. -
I can't stand coffee... I'll take the cancer. -
I'd drink more coffee anyway. -
I drink more coffee to reduce my risk of sleep.
