A study shows that coffee does not increase ones risk for colon cancer:
"If you can’t live without your morning cup of joe, you’re not alone. More than half of all Americans drink coffee daily. But how healthy is it for you? Coffee has actually been shown to reduce the risks of certain chronic diseases, but the effects of coffee on developing colorectal cancer have been unclear. A large prospective study from Finland recently published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found coffee drinking did not affect one’s risk of developing colorectal, colon or rectal cancers.
Consuming an average of 25.5 lbs. annually, Finish people drink more coffee than any other nation. In this study, more than 60,000 Finnish men and women aged 26 to 74 years were questioned about daily coffee intakes. Participants were followed for an average of 18 years, during which time a total of 538 cases of colorectal cancer were reported. The data showed that participants who drank 10 or more cups of coffee daily were no more likely to develop colorectal cancer than non-drinkers. These results remained consistent when factors such as gender, smoking, alcohol consumption, age, education and physical activity were accounted for."
