Most parents think of sugar as just junk food. The fact of the matter is that kids are exposed to sugar in almost everything they eat. 80% of the foods we buy from the store have sugar and usually the bad type like High fructose corn syrup.

2017 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.

Terrible study published in medical journal that provides no scientific valuable information
