Is it true that caffeine is a carcinogen? i heard this from a scholar with a ph.d. in zoology.

Not likely!: Most health experts agree that coffee and caffeine do not increase cancer risk, and in some cases may even lower risk. However caffeine can negatively affect people who have other health conditions such as high blood pressure, a rapid heart rate, or other heart associated issues. I wish you well with your health!
