Someone suggested i drink dandelion coffee as it helps keeps cancer cells out, has anyone else heard or used this? If so does it taste like coffee? 
I am always wary of anyone saying a food helps keeps cancer at bay. But at any rate if you want to try it ask your oncologist. Preliminary reading says that it can interfere with certain medications.

Hi, I have never heard of it and it may be harmless but I think if dandelion coffee helped kill cancer we’d all be on a prescription. People say these things, they’re just trying to be helpful. I agree that if you want to try it you should check with your oncologist.
If you Google Memorial Sloan Kettering herbal database it will give you a lot more information about dandelion and it’s benefits side effects and interactions with other drugs . I’ve always known dandelion to be a diuretic that is it makes you pass more urine . I can remember drinking fizzy dandelion and burdock when I was a kid and liking it but I’ve never had dandelion coffee. Herbs and supplements become a bit of a minefield if you’ve had cancer or are on medication and if you are going to have herbs etc it’s usually better to eat or drink them than take as a supplement which will be a much more concentrated form. You could ask the person who told you where they got their information from and see if there’s anything credible in this claim .
