Coffee and cancer risk: a summary overview - 0 views

Nathan Goodyear on 20 Apr 182017 meta-analysis finds no increase relative risk (RR) of cancer with coffee consumption. First, this must consider all the "other" junk put in coffee these days. Second, and most important, this study looked at RR which tells us nothing about risk. Studies like this don't do much more than confuse the general public, doctors, and judges--recent judge ruling in California that coffee needs a carcinogenic lable. Third, epigenetis will tell us about individual risk. I am growing more concerned that the majority of studies published today are merely statistical dances to ensure publication. Is it good that no RR was found? yes, does that give any indication of absolute risk? No. Take home: enjoy your morning cup of joe as nature prescribed--no additives.
