Coffee Causes Cancer In California

From KABC7, “Starbucks, other coffee sellers ordered to warn California customers of carcinogens in coffee“.  Hey, everything causes cancer in California, don’t you know?

Beware of the Dog! Have a cuppa cancer.

A judge ruled that Starbucks and other coffee sellers in California must provide a cancer warning on their products for customers.
