High intake of coffee may facilitate the development of stomach cancer.
This research work studied the association between coffee consumption and the odds of developing gastric (stomach) cancer. A group of Chinese researchers systematically reviewed data and evidence from 9 studies that examined more than 1 millions subjects.
The research team observed that the risk of stomach cancer rises as the frequency of consumption of coffee increases. This study provides evidence that long-term drinking of generous amounts of coffee may be tied to elevated gastric cancer risk.
