One of our readers asked
about the use of organic
coffee for cancer. Here is
what we know.

for-cancer/
Coffee has been shown to
reduce the incidence of at
least two forms of cancer.

for-cancer/
Coffee has no known use in
the treatment of cancer.

for-cancer/
And drinking very hot
beverages including coffee is
linked to esophageal cancer.

for-cancer/
Too Hot Coffee

for-cancer/
Last year we wrote not to
drink very hot coffee.

for-cancer/
The one warning from WHO
is that very hot beverages
are associated with a higher
incidence of esophageal
cancer.

for-cancer/
It’s not what you drink but
how hot it is served that
increases the risk of cancer
of the esophagus.

for-cancer/
In reviewing the most recent scientific
evidence over the past 25 years since
its last analysis on the matter, the
WHO concluded that coffee should no
longer be considered a carcinogen
and that it may actually have positive
effects for your body when it comes to
two types of cancers – liver and
uterine cancers.

for-cancer/
There was another significant
finding: “Very hot” beverages
“probably” cause cancer.

for-cancer/
This is mostly based on studies
related to the consumption of a
traditional drink called mate or
cimarrón in South America
where the tea can be taken at
temperatures around 158
degrees Fahrenheit (or 70
degrees Celsius).

for-cancer/
That’s significantly hotter
than people in North America
or Europe usually consume
their drinks.

for-cancer/
So, if you are used to
drinking your boiling hot
coffee before it cools think
again.

Treating Cancer with
Coffee

for-cancer/
Coffee enemas are
suggested by some as a way
to detoxify the body and treat
cancer. We went to the Mayo
Clinic web site for info
regarding colon cleansing.

for-cancer/
Colon cleansing is normally
used as preparation for medical
procedures such as
colonoscopy. However, some
alternative medicine
practitioners also offer colon
cleansing for other purposes,
such as detoxification.

for-cancer/
But colon cleansing - also called
a colonic or a colonic irrigation -
for such purposes isn't
necessary. That's because your
digestive system and bowel
already eliminate waste material
and bacteria from your body.

for-cancer/
During a colon cleanse, large
amounts of water -
sometimes up to 16 gallons
(about 60 liters) - and
possibly other substances,
such as herbs or coffee, are
flushed through the colon.

for-cancer/
This is done using a tube
that's inserted into the
rectum. In some cases,
smaller amounts of water are
used and are left to sit in the
colon for a short time before
being removed.

for-cancer/
Proponents of colon
cleansing believe that toxins
from your gastrointestinal
tract can cause a variety of
health problems, such as
arthritis, allergies and
asthma.

for-cancer/
They believe that colon
cleansing improves health by
removing toxins, boosting your
energy and enhancing your
immune system. However,
there's no evidence that colon
cleansing produces these
effects.

for-cancer/
And colon cleansing can
sometimes be harmful. In
fact, coffee enemas
sometimes used in colon
cleansing have been linked
to several deaths.

for-cancer/
Colon cleansing can also
cause less serious side
effects, such as cramping,
bloating, nausea and
vomiting.

for-cancer/
The bottom line is that there
is no place for the use of
regular or organic coffee in
treating cancer but cancer
prevention is another matter.

for-cancer/
Cancer Prevention

for-cancer/
There are a lot of health
benefits of drinking coffee,
including reduction of cancer
risk. The New York Times
quotes the World Health
Organization. Coffee may
protect against cancer.

for-cancer/
An influential panel of experts
convened by the World
Health Organization
concluded on Wednesday
that regularly drinking coffee
could protect against at least
two types of cancer.

for-cancer/
The clearest evidence is that
ovarian and uterine cancer
risks are reduced by coffee
consumption.
