Lots of research has been done on coffee and cancer risk. The good news is that drinking 6 cups of coffee per day or less does not increase cancer risk, and may actually protect against certain types of cancer. In population studies, people who drink a few cups of coffee each day are shown to have a lower risk of liver and endometrial cancers.
Coffee may protect against colorectal cancer due to its caffeine content. Caffeine may speed up the passage of carcinogens, chemicals that can cause cancer, through the digestive system and out of the body.
Coffee also contains an antioxidant called caffeic acid. Caffeic acid is being researched in cell studies, where it has been shown to cause cancer cells to self-destruct.
Are you concerned about BPA in plastic containers? BPA is a chemical that is used in hard plastic. Research has shown that BPA can affect the action of hormones such as estrogen and may affect fertility and cancer risk in high doses. If you want to avoid BPA, try to choose glass containers for storing food, or look for plastic containers labeled “BPA free” or with a number 2, 4 or 5 recycling code on the bottom.
