DESCRIPTION: Coffee consumption is associated with a modest reduction of total cancer incidence. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at ‪http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/coffee-and-cancer/‬ and I'll try to answer it! What about the caffeine though? Find out in tomorrow's video-of-the-day! I still don't recommend people drink coffee—not because it's not healthy, but because there are even healthier choices. Coffee is like a banana, a common convenient plant-based food. If you have a choice, I'd encourage people to make healthier fruit choices (apples are better, berries are best) and choose a healthier beverage, like green tea. See my 20 videos on tea (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/tea/), as well as the hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand subjects (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/). Note that the meta-analysis this video is based upon is open access, so you can download it by clicking on the link above in the Sources Cited section.
