That's good news...I can't get enough and am enjoying my 5th cup as I write this.

Contradicting article, first breath, down four cups per day and stave off cancer and the last part of the article says tests are inconclusive, go figure! Who does these tests anyhow? They probably have a six figure income.

Lotta maybes in this "study".

Totally useless study and nothing to be gained from it. I am an Octogenerian, and fotunately I don't have cancer. Gave up coffee 40 years ago. What does this do to your study? Gat a job.

This study brought to you by Starbucks.... :-)

Interesting results, although a 12% drop isn't a lot. Always a lot of confounds in these studies.

Just finsishing my 8th. cup.....feel frisky, am typing real fast, gotta pee.

Coffee beans in my cheeks right now, that's why I look(and act) squirelly.

Now my dad who must drink about 5 cups of coffee daily just recovered from kidney cancer last November.

Also as article points out there are a thousand chemicals in coffee; it also leaches calicum from your bones.

I guess you believe what fits into your lifestyle.

Leaches calcium? Add more mocha or half-n-half.

Yeah i don't know.. it seems pretty inconclusive either way. It's like so many things, bad for you one minute, good the next. I do love my morning java. I am not an all day drinker but I need those first 2-3 cups in the morning. Then when I get to work I switch to coke... and then in the evening, more pop. Then on the weekend, just beer.. beer and coffee.. Coffee in the AM, beer all night long... and boy am I healthy.

Sounds like a trade-off.  A gallon of coffee per day to ward off the cancer in exchange for a heart attack. 

I don't agree with this comment. Cause my Husband got neck cancer 12/23/2009 and he drinks about 4 cups a day . He is a non smoker also.

It cracks me up every time I read another study proving that coffee reduces the risk of various cancers. How many people are really worried about head and neck cancer!

I'm convinced the ones doing the study are all caffeine addicts themselves, trying to justify all that caffeine.

Hey, I'm one of them - I've kicked the caffeine habit so many times I lost count, only to go back to it. Right now I have no intent to even try kicking the habit. I like coffee too much for that! I just think these studies are silly.

Volatile oils build up in your kidneys and you will have excruciating headaches when they start to release so the only thing to do is drink more coffee to stop them. This is a non-nutritive drug and claims to the contrary are bunk. Give in and let your body have the sleep it needs.

What a waste of a study. I hope they didn't use taxpayer money on this one. What's the next study. Cancer linked to Death!

I keep score on coffee because I love it and thoroughly enjoy my 3 to 4 cups a day. So far, the perks and benefits seem to outweight the risks.

Until that changes, it's staying on my A-list.

Well I am not surprised as coffee has more then 2-3x antioxidant then tea for example black tea.

only thing about coffee is that people use sugar with it ( which reduces its benefit)

I drink at least a full pot each day. I must be old though...I remember when coffee was bad for you, as well as eggs. Think I'll have another cup before bed (does not affect sleep - that's a myth).

What causes cancer?

Epidemiological studies of this kind are useless. Quit wasting our time and money with s**t.

What CAUSES cancer?

Everyone reading this crap has been touched by the plague that is cancer (thanks MSNBC and the Journal of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention). Is this the best we can do? Is anyone else getting fed up with this garbage?

Quit rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic and get to work. What are we missing?

What CAUSES CANCER?

right, as is Alcohol and addictive drugs. did Starbucks pay for this article?  perhaps

Wanna cure head and neck cancer?

You see folks, the government and BIG PHARMA have known how to cure cancer for over 40 years now. But guess what? They don't want to cure it! Its a real money maker and when you die, there's another cancer patient waiting to take your place.

Wake up people!!! Our government has been lying to us for at least 73 years. I'm 52 so as long as I have been alive, my government, the so called best government on the planet has been lying to me. My father faught in the Battle of the Bulge so that we would never have to go through the human injustices of the Nazi regime. Cannabis prohibition is a Nazi tactic. My father is rolling over in his grave.

someone seriously got paid to write something that, in the end.. meant nothing, just words on a page... but at least its nice to hear something in my life i enjoy doesnt flat out cause cancer.. unless it does, i guess we dont really know do we?
