Coffee Causes Cancer, According to the State of California | Eater
"After a California Superior Court ruled under Proposition 65, this company — which chose to continue fighting the 2010 lawsuit rather than settle — has been ordered to include warnings informing customers that acrylamide, a chemical produced during roasting and listed as a carcinogen, is present in its coffee and related baked goods; the required label explains acrylamide is not added but results from cooking. The decision could be appealed but is viewed as unlikely to be reversed, and advocates hope it will prompt reductions in acrylamide even as industry groups and some researchers argue typical levels are harmless and federal agencies continue to study the issue." - Daniela Galarza
