Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

[pennyJo1960]

I lived on coffee for years while working but as my body started giving up
I stopped for about 2 years then started brewing in an old stove stop pot
but only made about 3 real cups and stayed at 1 pot a day... found starbucks
instant and slowed to 2 cups a day but double on both

I'm out of K-cups, so am doing the pour-thru method. I don't mind it. It kind of reminds me of campfire coffee. The problem is that it just never seems hot enough.

There is some lady at church that can down scalding coffee not sure how she does it. Crazy.


I like my coffee pleasantly warm.

She's just like me. I can drink it pleasantly warm eventually, but I want my first cup or two (or at least the first sip or two) to be extremely hot.

Cant drink it blazingly hot... Not even the first sip. Been burned too many times tongue and lips and gums....

I have to put either ice or cream or milk in it to cool it off. I can drink it black but again it has to cool down some.

same way with hot cocoa...

Drinking liquid over 150F is a carcinogen--linked to mouth, throat and stomach cancer.

She should let her coffee cool down some.

World Health Organization Says Very Hot Drinks May Cause Cancer

Article date: June 15, 2016
But drops coffee from list of possible carcinogens

By Stacy Simon
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified drinking very hot beverages as a probablecarcinogen, something that probably causes cancer. IARC is the cancer agency of the World Health Organization. Very hot beverages refer to drinks hotter than 65 degrees Celsius, which translates to about 149 degrees Fahrenheit. In the US, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and other hot beverages are usually drunk at temperatures lower than 149 degrees.
The studies that led IARC to classify drinking very hot beverages as a possible carcinogen mostly looked at maté, a type of tea that is traditionally drunk at very hot temperatures, mainly in South America, Asia, and Africa. The studies showed a link between the drink and esophageal cancer, but only when it was served at the traditional, very hot temperature.
In the US, major risk factors for esophageal cancer include use of tobacco products and drinking alcohol, especially when combined.
Coffee risk is downgraded

The same group of 23 scientists from 10 countries also evaluated available studies about coffee and cancer, and as a result, changed the way it classifies coffee. In 1991, IARC classified coffee as possibly causing cancer because of studies that linked coffee drinking to bladder cancer. Since then, however, new and better studies have become available. IARC now says it is no longer possible to determine whether drinking coffee causes bladder cancer.
In addition, IARC’s review of the studies has led it to conclude that coffee is unlikely to cause breast cancer, prostate cancer, or pancreatic cancer. Reduced risks were seen for liver cancer and endometrial cancer.
Many studies have been done to determine whether coffee can lower cancer risk because coffee beans containantioxidants, which are thought to have a protective effect against cancer. But the overall results are not clear, and in many of the studies that showed a lowered risk, the benefit was found in people who drank 4 to 6 cups of coffee a day. Too much caffeine leads to health problems for some people, by interfering with sleep, triggering migraines, and causing digestive problems. And if cream and sugar is added, the extra fat and calories can contribute to weight gain – which increases the risk for many types of cancer.
Adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet is a healthier way to consume more antioxidants and may help lower your cancer risk.
IARC published its report online June 15, 2016 in The Lancet Oncology.
