Oesophagus cancer, I can live with that if it means having my morning coffee.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Re-read the OP. Coffee might be a carcinogen or it might decrease the risk of (some) cancer. Hot drinks give you cancer.

WOOSH

 

[Aiii]

Further proving that anything and everything both prevents and causes cancer at the same time.

WOOSH

Yeah yeah *waving white flag emoji*

 

[geardo]

I'm enjoying my coffee this morning.

 

[milanbaros]

Ah, of course Iran's mouth cancer rate! I should have foreseen!

I just have to requote this comment as it still made me chuckle a day later.

Such bullshit

Cells dividing causes cancer

Are they suggesting the cell damage thatvhas to be repaired from hot coffee is linked to cancer?

With coffee consumption at an all time high wouldnt we see a pattern of esophagus vancer increase?

Outside of direct and extreme cellular damage (acute radiation) Just go on with your lives people.

Obviously try to avoid unnecessary injury from the millions of sources and dangers in the world but your body is designed to repair the majority of this damage. And at some point your own genetics are a factor

There are to many variables in biology

I'm awaiting the next study that says drinking water cause cancer.

 

[Onlinehero]

Bacon, now my morning Joe.

Is there any reason left to get out of bed? Is wanking still okay?

If you want hand cancer!

 

[Arkanius]

God damnit WHO
First they take my red meat
Now they take my coffee

I'm not lasting long if it depends on WHO.

 

[T-0800]

I believe it's actually been shown to reduce your chances of prostate cancer. So wank away <3

Associated guilt will give you cancer though.

 

[Nikodemos]

They did this study previously with mate drinkers (who usually drink it at higher average temps compared to coffee, and since they drink it through a straw it stays at higher temps when it hits the throat) and it checked out. Guess they extended it to coffee. Doesn't really affect me, I've always drank my coffee, tea and mate lukewarm to cold.

Are they suggesting the cell damage thatvhas to be repaired from hot coffee is linked to cancer?

Basically. The more you force cells in one area to repeatedly divide, the higher the chance they'll go bonkers. Particularly cells who have to divide often. See skin, liver and pancreatic cancer.

With coffee consumption at an all time high wouldnt we see a pattern of esophagus vancer increase?

But cancers are increasing over all. That's why we're getting better at treating them, more available research subjects.

 

[ZackieChan]

This will change nothing. I love coffee that burns me to my core.

I prefer not to have cancer burning me to the core. I'll stick to them iced lattes, thank you.

No shit burning your tongue, mouth and throat over and over increases your risk of cancer. I never got how ppl could enjoy eating/drinking scalding hot substances.

Also, seems like the ignorant as fuck "everything gives you cancer" brigade" has made its appearance.

Newsflash: everything does not fucking give you cancer.

Adittionally, magnitude of risk is important. A carcinogen may cause a few more people out of thousands to develop cancer among those exposed. Another carcinogen may cause a majority of people exposed to it to develop a particular cancer.

Which one am I going to make sure to avoid?

For the irrational, unthinking "everything causes cancer" ppl, it doesn't matter. For someone like me who has a functioning brain and can weigh risks, it does.

Wow dude.

 

[Greddleok]

Who gives a fuck? Gonna die anyway, may as well go out doing stuff you enjoy.

 

[Kurdel]

I'm awaiting the next study that says drinking water cause cancer.

Yeah, stupid studies.

 

[Alex Connolly]

Noooooope. Find a partner to help. Doctor ordered.

You can go blind or so they say...

Yes wanking cures cancer so you need to wank to the amount of times relative to everything you do which causes cancer to be safe.

Careful, you'll get dick cancer.

I believe it's actually been shown to reduce your chances of prostate cancer. So wank away <3

Regular orgasms lower the risk of prostate cancer, so wank away!

If you want hand cancer!

Which one is it?! To stroke, or not to stroke...

 

[Imperfected]

Which one is it?! To stroke, or not to stroke...

Your testicles are going to over-produce sperm like a couple of insanely optimistic little jackasses anyway, so you may as well offend your religion of choice with it. As long as your spankfests don't involve abrasive rubs or caustic chemicals, it should be fine.

 

[radios shipping overview]

I made my usual ginger tea last night, and I checked the temperature with a cooking thermometer when it was at a temperature that felt comfortable to drink. It was about 140F. I'll probably be fine as long as I trust my mucous membranes to tell me how hot it is.

 

[pestul]

Dang, I just had a warmish coffee because of this news. :S

I usually drink my tea piping hot.

 

[Already Torn]

Fucking Brewster.

I TRUSTED YOU.

I read this thread while eating pastrami and drinking coffee.

I am already dead.

I'm awaiting the next study that says drinking water cause cancer.

Cue posters here going "I didn't even know people drink water." or "You mean you didn't already know that?"

 

[DarkKyo]

That's not really applicable here just because the cause of cancer in this case is burning your insides, not any particular type of food.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

I'm awaiting the next study that says drinking water cause cancer.

Hell the shit we put in drinking water now days it probably does. Course now that you think about it. Do people who bath not get skin cancer? Is not everything we drink made out of water? Throat cancer and stomach cancer. Hmmmm yea think I've just proven it. The real cancer culprit is water. STOP DRINKING WATER FOLKS! It causes cancer.

I bet even shit in our atmosphere causes cancer.

Don't care.

This news is hard to swallow.

R.I.P. China.

Will nobody think of the poor naive Chinese college students practicing their English, between this and "you use chopsticks so well!", what will be left for them to tell us?
