It's because the coffee makes you shit the cancer right out
Not far from the possible truth. Coffee drinkers are more likely to have regular bowel movements so that would help. 20% of all people have a bowel response thanks to coffee.
Ok now im waiting for the “other” study that says coffee causes cancer….
Despite its reputation, coffee is continually correlated with health benefits in statistical studies. This is not something made up by news agencies. But honestly, I don't get it either. I drink lots of coffee, but it can upset my stomach and give me the jitters. It just doesn't intuitively seem like something that should be healthy.
Switch to dark roast. It's borderline decaf.
@John_McMurray @cholesterol L-theanine is very inexpensive, it's just an amino acid found in tea which eases jitters. Caffeine itself is good for exercise it's straight-up healthy if you can get to sleep haha
It's a similar amount of caffeine
No, it is not, believe me, I can tell.
Source: trust me bro
I'm sorry you either don't drink coffee or are caffeine immune. Anecdotal isn't a euphemism for worthless.
You can literally measure the amount of caffeine, why should I listen to your opinion?
Look you clown, everyone (except you, apparently) knows the longer you roast, the more you remove caffeine.
You're misinformed. You need to use more grams of dark roast to catch up, in terms of caffine, to light roast caffeine levels. You can still get the caffeine buzz from dark roast.
Fewer grams because dark roasts have less moisture, so when you use 18g of the coffee you get more beans
Not too likely, you'll pass the "tastes like crap now" threshold.
Why are you being so rude?
Why is he bothering me with this horseshit, is a better question.
Ya, I think the key lesson is: Don't get your health information from the news, your health is not their goal.
Making money, by attracting attention is the primary goal. Spreading falsehood is just “business as usual”. Informing the public is a byproduct of the core business.
I believe those earlier studies did not factor the cancer risk from consuming very hot beverages. Apparently the damage to the cells of your mouth and throat from getting cooked causes mutations that could develop into cancer.
It's widely known people who drink coffee also spend time each day meticulously cleaning their bowels. Simply a correlation.
Here’s the interesting bit.
“The association between coffee consumption and all-cause mortality was U-shaped; coffee intake seemed optimal at 3–5 cups/d with the lowest risk at 4 cups/d (HR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.53, 0.88). Our results suggest that coffee consumption may be associated with a lower risk of CRC recurrence and all-cause mortality.”
Well, what exactly counts as a cup then?
“Coffee consumption in cups/d was then calculated by multiplying the frequency of consumption per day by the number of cups that were consumed. We further accounted for the differences in the sizes of cups by multiplying coffee in cups/d by 1 (for cup) or 1.5 (for mug).“
I guess the traditional 100 ml cups and the common 200 ml cups are all just cups, whereas 300 ml mug is clearly a mug. Who knows really, when the data is all self reported. I guess my 400 ml/d consumption should be roughly optimal.
Maybe the absolute volume is not what’s important to get the benefit?
So, if I use espresso cups or even dollhouse cups, I can easily hit that optimal cup number with a very small amount of coffee. 😁
A double espresso from 16g of beans is less than 40ml and stronger than a bigger lungo from a nespresso pod (~7g coffee).
Smaller cups tend to be stronger. That same double espresso with 130g ice and 100ml milk and blend until ice is crushed makes a pretty strong frappuccino.
From espresso to lungo / americano to Starbucks recreations, they all basically use the same dose but wildly varying cup size.
Cup to mug of the same strength filter coffee makes a difference though.
So while something is definitely going to kill me, it almost certainly won't be recurring bowel cancer.
Yeah, you just have to survive it the first time.
Time for my coffee enema
Does it help you not get the cancer in the first place?
Here's the problem, right. One of the signs of colon cancer is thin shits. Coffee causes thin shits. How tf do I know if my thin shits are from ass cancer or caffeine.
Stop consuming caffeine for a week?
So just die?
