IARC对咖啡、伴侣及很热饮料致癌性的评价

Evaluation of carcinogenicity of coffee, maté, and very hot beverages

（摘要）WHO属下的国际癌症机构（IARC）对咖啡及饮料中的伴侣潜在致癌性进行了评估。没有确凿的证据表明饮用咖啡或伴侣的致癌作用。但有限的证据表明饮用热饮料可能会引起食道癌，这是给消费者的建议。烟草和酒精消费是主要的食管癌的危险因素。

15 June 2016 -- The WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer’s Monographs programme has evaluated the potential carcinogenicity of drinking coffee, maté and very hot beverages. It found no conclusive evidence of a carcinogenic effect of drinking coffee or maté. Limited evidence showed drinking very hot beverages probably causes oesophageal cancer, reaffirming WHO’s position on this issue and advice to let hot drinks cool before consuming them. Tobacco and alcohol consumption are the main oesophageal cancer risk factors.
