Why should I be surprised anymore

Everything that makes me happy causes cancer

For the record, the mere act of eating itself increases your risk of having cancer.

Wrong headline. Its not the coffee, its the heat..

I'm thoroughly convinced my colon issues were successfully battled with coffee enemas. I was diagnosed over 3 years ago and passed a colonoscopy exam with 0 polyps (first time in 20 years.)

Is drinking scalding liquids a normal thing?

My question is are these coffee drinks adding sugar and or artificial flavorings? Those can be a factor too.

On a cold morning it's disappointing for me to be served a warm - not hot - cup of coffee.

Coffee supposedly has antioxidants. Hot beverages cause cancer. I doubt that. In certain countries, people don't consume cold beverages as the norm.

I believe the plastic lids & straws against hot temps is just toxic! I am a 3c colon cancer survivor.

Money will be used to hide the truth, coffee also races the Heart

[DunTrythisAtHomekids]

So it isn't just the coffee, it's when it's scolding hot that it's a problem.

[lavajolt]

I don't care just get the FDA out of my life

What is hot too hot? Everything which is hotter than your body temperature

[keifuensalida]

so cold coffee or anything is much more better.

[mblegend]

Do you need to drink coffee that hot? 😂

[MonkeyspankO]

hehe, love how they talk about "coffee" what the hell does that mean? the beans on the field? chemicals sprayed on them? contamination during roasting? and grinding. additives adding before sale, flavours (yes, they do add that)...another BS fluff piece.
