Say it ain’t so — Coffee causes cancer? Is nothing safe anymore? As the fuel that runs Enterprise, those were our thoughts exactly when we heard that a California court ruled that coffee ought to be branded with cancer warning labels. Acrylamide, a chemical formed when coffee beans are roasted, had been recognized as a carcinogen by California since 1990. The Council for Education and Research on Toxics, the party poopers who filed the suit, charged that Starbucks and 90 other companies did not warn consumers that ingesting coffee would expose them to acrylamide. The companies are considering fighting the decision, according to the NYT. While we do agree with consumer transparency on a moral principle, in this case, we’re willing to go with the “ignorance is bliss” argument.
