Question 1

is coffee a carcinogen or the acrylamide cause cancer or possibly? different website information is confusing and american cancer society website didnt understand it . any help thank you?

Accepted Answer

: I agree that the information about coffee is confusing. Although it contains acrylamide, a probable carcinogen, it is stated by many that there is insufficient evidence to consider coffee as a carcinogen. I doubt any manufacturer lists their coffee as possibly carcinogenic.

Question 2

should companies that sell alcoholic beverages be required to provide nutritional information?

Accepted Answer

No nutritional info: There is no signficant nutritional value in drinking alcohol--only empty calories. Nutritional labels are designed to help people make informed food choices. Be smart, eat healthy, and limit alcohol consumption (see earlier healthtap responses regarding responsible alcohol ingestion).

Briefly: The odors from these and other food sources may coat portions of the mouth and leave a lingering odor.  Check also the oral hygiene and the condition of the teeth as a contributing factor.
