Coffee Needs a cancer warning

A Los Angeles judge has ruled that coffee companies need to carry a cancer warning label in California.

Superior Court Judge Elihu Berle said in a proposed decision Wednesday that Starbucks and other coffee companies failed to prove the threat from a chemical compound produced during coffee roasting was insignificant.

The chemical, acrylamide, is a carcinogen created when coffee beans are roasted. The carcinogen is one in a list of chemicals the state of California considers possible causes of cancer. Alcoholic beverages are also on the list.

The lawsuit was first filed in 2010 by a nonprofit group who targeted coffee roasters, distributors and retailers that make or sell coffee for failing “to provide clear and reasonable warning” that drinking coffee could expose people to acrylamide.

Under the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, businesses must inform customers about the presence of substances that may affect their health. The act, also known as Prop 65, applies to all “retail, mail order, and Internet sales of products, even if sold out of the state,” according to the state website.

The coffee industry had claimed the chemical was present at harmless levels and should be exempt from the law because it results naturally from the cooking process to make the beans flavorful.

Proposed California judicial decisions can still be reversed, but rarely are.

The Mormons are right.
Anyway I gave up coffee. Only drank it for a few months of the year. Hey nothing says refreshment than a big cup of HOT Coffee when it's 100 Degrees in Phoenix! NOT.

I thought a few months ago they were saying 2-3 cups of coffee a day was good for you. I can't keep up with these people.

Yes that was in both Prevention and Woman's World magazine.
I've no intention of giving up my daily zing!

I am with you PG.

Besides we are all going to die in the end anyway. Cancer is only one of a thousand ways. So I will enjoy my coffee and consider the good out weighs the bad.

We should sit and enjoy a cup some day. :wink:

why not try the unroasted beans?

That would be akin to drinking un-distilled wiskey sourmash.
I'll pass.

The benefits of coffee include vassal dilation and mental acuity. I drink two "Pots" a day. I presume that is also good for the kidneys.

Cancers are generally cause by persistent irritation. Most likely any cancers I get will be caused by persistent liberalism.

Grocery shopping today for Easter. I noticed Death Wish Coffee. Comes in a black bag with a white skull and crossbones. 5X caffeine I think. $20 / Lb. I immediately thought of Franc drinking two pots of this stuff. :th_lmao:
