I read some years ago that coffee caused pancreas cancer. Is that true?
Most of the specialists don’t think that there is a connection. All the studies published recently, firmly suggest that there is no connection between drinking coffee and a higher risk of pancreas cancer. Among those studies, we can mention the one made with 14,000 retired residents: Estudio de Seguimiento con Profesionales de la Salud y el Estudio de la Salud del Personal de Enfermería (Follow- up Study with Health Professionals and Health Study of the Nursing Personnel) Some years ago, there were studies that indicated a possible connection, but in one of them, when taking into account tobacco consumption, the relationship with coffee was not statistically significant. In another study, an inverse relationship was discovered and in people who drank coffee the risk of developing pancreas cancer was reduced.
