    Despite California's scientifically obtuse warning sign law, coffee is healthy, & no more carcinogenic than much else we consume. First Law of Food Safety: If people enjoy something, authorities will say it's bad for them.https://go.shr.lc/2LM3Fy1

        As an acedemic yourself, you well understand the dynamic that such a study will more likely be publishable than a confirming study of something universally considered healthy.

        As we’re in the old country at the mo’, mostly cod. Looking forward to feast on locally sourced produce during the great Brexit famine once we’re back.

        A plausible case can be made that the very same psychological needs that drove the Puritans then, drive the busybodies of the Left, today.

        Moderation is healthy. Coffee can go either way, largely depending on how you take it

        @sapinker Yerba Mate consumption is now considered carcinogenic cause a study that > 65C hot drinks are carcinogenic. No study has been done on it, pure biased opinions. Guarani+Argentinian people live now 80, 90 yold, and Mate is a whole thing! Crapy biased studies.
