Groups Sues for Cancer Warnings on Coffee
Sigh...
A California nonprofit is suing Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, and other big coffee chains over cancer warning labels on drinks. The group, Council for Education and Research on Toxins (CERT), claims the caffeinated brown stuff these companies sell to millions of sleepy customers every day contains a carcinogen called acrylamide.

Nice. Another cancer warning I get to ignore.
I'll have to mull this over while drinking my morning coffee.
And keep your F-ing hands off my coffee!
Put down that cup! Coffee is for closers!
Gee... according to the article, I would have to drink about 100 cups a day to even begin to worry about it. Even I can't drink that much, and I have tried!
Yet another ungrammatical headline today. This seems to be a pattern...
It'll go right along side the one that warns the coffee is hot. Why don't they waste the money on something useful, like education and research?
