I only drink one cup per day and I only started when I was in my early 30s so I guess I'm not getting much out of it.

Some people like me are very sensitive to caffeine. I wonder if we the jittery ones process caffeine slower and could that be a disadvantage.

Acrylamide due to roasting isn't a great thing either.

Hot liquid ingested every day may be a risk for throat cancer. https://www.cancer.org/latest-news/world-health-organization...

Your link’s first paragraph states coffee is usually consumed at temperatures below the risk threshold. A couple paragraphs later is states that coffee has been removed from their list of beverages they’re worried about.

But that information seems to change every few years. The acrylamide is the newest twist created during roasting, even cold brew can't escape acrylamide.

For me, I have to be careful drinking coffee because I have GERD if I drink too much coffee my throat spasms and at night I cough up stomach acid while asleep. It gets into my lungs and over time damages lung tissue.

Even for coffee roasters, the people near the coffee are at risk of lung damage from whatever roasting coffee emits. https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/investigations/2017/09/2...

So just because cancer.org isn't worried about it, means that you shouldn't be?

The American Cancer Society is extremely misleading and biased in their opinions imho.

They basically support whoever pays them to.

They actually suggest that you eat meat on their "healthy eating recipes" page for example. [0]

I don't know a ton about nutrition and cancer... but I do know that eating meat is not suggested by most nutritionists who understand those subjects better than I.
