- The cancer agency of the World Health Organization issues a detailed report in which it concludes that drinking coffee doesn't increase the risk of cancer.
- The experts did determine that drinking "very hot" beverages is one probable cause of oesophagus cancer in humans.
- Very hot was defined as 65 degrees Celsius or 149 degrees Fahrenheit. Coffee from some chains is served over that temperature if consumed immediately without any cream added.
