Abstract in brief

  • The overall evidence indicates that coffee consumption is not linked to an increased risk of most cancers, although it may have a protective effect against certain types like liver and endometrial cancers.
  • Meta-analyses show that drinking one additional cup of coffee per day is associated with a slightly lower risk of liver cancer (RR of about 0.85) and endometrial cancer (RR of about 0.92).
  • Results for other cancers such as bladder, colorectal, and childhood leukemia are mixed or inconclusive, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others showing no clear relationship.]

Plants are tools. They can harm some things, but help others. So their usage is entirely context dependent. Take coffee for example
