Beverages and cancer
1990
Sherwin, R.
Research related to possible causal relationships between beverages containing alcohol, caffeine, or artificial sweeteners and cancer is reviewed. It is almost certain that high intakes of concentrated forms of alcohol act synergistically with cigarette smoking to cause cancer of the upper digestive and respiratory tracts, but this does not constitute a major public health problem. However, the probable association of moderate alcohol intake with cancer of the breast is a potentially important public health problem, if alcohol intake is shown to be causal. There are no important current associations established between the use of caffeine-containing beverages and cancer at any site in humans. Similarly, there are no important current associations established between the use of artificial sweeteners and cancer at any site in humans.
