Anecdote Alert! A very knowledgeable Chinese doctor (acupuncturist, trained on the mainland)warned me of this decades ago.

She said that for my body type, coffee was extremely bad. She explained (in her broken English)that the coffee contained "fire" due to the way the beans were processed and that this could make me more susceptible to cancer. Grilled food was also a no-no (for me). Baked & fried foods? For most people, fuggedaboudit!

I can't help but notice the latest research is beginning to show exactly what she told me all those years ago.

My very knowledgeable statistics professor (my professor beats your doctor) told me that extraordinary claims ("fire" content from grilling causing cancer) require extraordinary evidence (say, some science behind)
