The World Health Organization, the public-health arm of the United Nations, says coffee is no longer deemed a possible carcinogen. There isn’t enough proof to indicate a causal link to cancer, so the group’s research team has downgraded its classification. “I’m not really sure why coffee was in a higher category in the first place,” said an epidemiologist at Oxford University who studied the possible connection. “The best evidence available suggests that coffee does not raise the cancer risk.”
