Coffee is now labled as a "Probable carcinogen"
I was parusing Yahoo! News and came across a very interesting article...
Here's a teaser. Link to full article below.
Quote:

Are Americans “bombarded with…dangerous exposures” to cancer-causing toxins, as a scary report from the President’s Cancer Panel contends? Of more than 80,000 chemicals on the US market--some found in products used by millions of people in daily life—only a few hundred have ever been tested for safety, warns the report, released in May. Yet these largely unregulated chemicals, including some linked to cancer risk, are now so ubiquitous in our environment that 300 contaminants have been detected in the umbilical cord blood of newborns, leading the authors to warn that babies are born “pre-polluted.”

They could relabel it and call it "crack" and I'd then be a crack addict! LMFAO

Riiiiight?! I haven't slowed my drinking of coffee any, but it's food for thought.

Same as it always was. Next week we'll find out it's good for our hearts in large doses.

It's all to feed the research. If people weren't confused, they wouldn't be nearly as willing to fund research and pay the salaries of our scientists.
It's a conspiracy, I tell you!
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not watching you.
