Coffee 100% cures cancer.
Verdict: FALSE
Verdict details
Confidence: 83%
Evidence quality: PUTERNICĂ
**What was analyzed:** The claim that coffee 100% cures cancer. **What sources confirm:** Epidemiological studies and health authorities (such as the WHO/IARC, American Cancer Society, and World Cancer Research Fund) report that habitual coffee consumption may lower the risk of developing certain cancers (like liver or endometrial cancer). However, coffee is not an oncology treatment and cannot cure cancer. **Limitations:** The exact biological mechanisms through which coffee compounds modulate cancer risk remain an active area of investigation. **Conclusion:** The claim is completely false; coffee does not cure cancer, and asserting a 100% cure rate is medically unfounded and dangerous.
