Abstract

This paper presents a revision of the relationships between coffee consumption and health across the three groups of diseases that are the first causes of premature death: cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and cancer. Epidemiological and experimental studies show relative evidences of increasing cardiovascular risk correlated to coffee consumption while no clear relationship is found concerning diabetes. Relationships between coffee consumption and cancer risk are likely in the case of pancreas and ovarian cancers while coffee consumption appears as a protector factor in colorectal cancer with no concluding data in the case of bladder cancer. This paper also presents the available hypotheses concerning the mechanisms that might be responsible of coffee consumption as a risk or protector factor for the diseases revised, and healthy forms of coffee consumption that minimize risk are indicated.
