American thinker: People have been enjoying and drinking coffee for thousands of years and recent health studies suggest it’s rather good for you, but now, all of a sudden, the State of California claims it has “science” to support the notion that coffee causes cancer.
That’s why some numbskull judge ruled that now all coffee must carry warning labels, same as dreaded, dangerous, cigarettes, warning everyone of cancer and attempting to get at least some people to stop. Can you say: ‘judiciary out of control?’ more here
For Cripes Sake!!!! IMHO EVERY healthy cell is “PREcancerous”…
Everything can promote it.
“Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.” Geo. Orwell
Well, coffee does give people motivation, and it’s an industry that creates many jobs so, to a Marxist, that’s all bad…
The court legitimized the decision by claiming “The failure to prove coffee wasn’t a carcinogenic”.
They did the same thing to Roundup last year costing Monsanto a lot of money.
If coffee can supposedly cause cancer does that mean that Starschmucks and other coffee houses can be charged with homicide by caffeine?
Is this a clever ploy so they can claim evidence of insanity when warrants are issued?
Hey, it’s California! Maybe if they stopped using coffee for high colonic colon cleansing they’d have different results!
All actions in Life are a hazard, life is terminal.
Progressive Socialists are a hazard to your health and longevity.
FOR MANY DECADES AMERICAN JUDGES, INCLUDING THE SUPREME COURT – JOHN MARSHALL, 200 YEARS AGO – WERE NOT LAWYERS!
Allowing the lawyers union to “bless” future judges has worked out very well.
THE SMALL LETTERS ARE FACETIOUS!
America has led the “civilized” world in lawyers per capita the last 150 years. there is a reason for our decline.
Maybe we should all just eat bread and drink water. Oh wait–bread has gluten so strike that off the list!
California should be declared carcinogenic and hazardous to both our physical and mental health.
Easy to explain….Once it is labeled a Carcinogen, it can be
“Sin Taxed” Get ready to pay double for Coffee.
Cal must have some of the smartest people on the planet. They know that the gunsmith hammer I bought from Brownells can cause cancer.
Scary smart….
I can’t tell you how many products I have in my TX home that have a disclaimer that California is warning there are carcinogens, and known cancers etc. as a result of use. Adding coffee is par for the course. How about air we breath?
I think professionally it’s called ‘transference’. They’re certifiable.
As much coffee as I drink?! 😮
Apparently I died in graduate school… 17 years ago… 😛
Why don’t they just list the things that are not known by the state of California to cause cancer? It would be a much shorter list.
So, if something is not proven not to cause cancer (which is virtually everything), then it needs a warning label. That’s a shitload of warning labels.
“Warning: This item has not been proven not to cause cancer. Don’t touch it!… Hey!… We told you not to touch it!… Do you want to die of cancer, stooooooopid?!!!”
The #WarOnCoffee is interesting considering their base is made up of millenials who enjoy their daily “latte” because they think it makes them look sophisticated.
I think I figgered it out… it’s a plot on the part of the Warning Label Industry!
My dad drank 6-8 cups a day for his entire adult life. Died at 93. Not from cancer.
The best part of waking up….is cancer in your cup.
The left is sucking the joy out of life one thing at a time.
It’s always about money, they will need to study this then tax it for the children.
Someone needs to make a list of all the stuff they’ve demonized.
Every ballot, nation wide, needs a warning label on every Democrat candidate.
Good. Lines will be shorter.
Stop selling coffee in California.
The fallacy of the court’s reasoning lies in the logical fact that one cannot prove a negative. By requiring the coffee companies to prove coffee is NOT a cancer risk the court held them to an impossible standard.
The proper requirement is to have those asserting the cancer risk to prove their case.
But, logic from a lefty? Not possible.
The difference between liberals and conservatives?
Liberals start with conclusions and sell them as fact, whereas Conservatives start with facts and reach conclusions.
Just sayin’.
Lazlo is enjoying a plate of Jig-Jigga (Taught to me by my famous English Father in Law: Eggs, and whatever else [in this case spam and tarragon]), washed down with Black Rifle coffee (third cup so far).
In a salute to my old home state I have my Black Rifle thermal cup with the Skull and Crossed Bones so I will be aware of coffee’s dangerous properties.
You see, I also like to live dangerously
If Cali makes coffee more expensive, they’re going to have to deal with my sister…and she can be a real bitch, especially without coffee.
The substance has not been discovered yet about which California does not say causes cancer. Except marijuana. Marijuana is the only thing whose smoke is not at all harmful.
When will California wake up and stop this insanity? Now without coffee, maybe never.
Ironically, every Starbucks store in California probably has a Prop. 65 label warning people that there are chemicals in and about the premises than may cause cancer or reproductive harm. These warnings are so ubiquitous that Californians don’t notice them anymore, and almost all commercial building owners post them “just in case.”
Warning signs have ceased to have any meaning anymore because they are literally everywhere on virtually everything. I doubt this ruling will have any effect on coffee consumption.
California is our national cancer, and it has metastasized into Oregon and Washington. The whole West Coast needs radiation…and chemotherapy of course.
Almost every story I see like this, they show mugs wit half a cup of cream and swirls.
That artsy fartssy creamy crap isn’t coffee.
“The failure to prove hilary clinton wasn’t a carcinogenic”.
There.
We all know how covfefe causes stenographers to melt down.
This is what’s coming:
EVERYTHING NOT FORBIDDEN IS COMPULSORY
We’re being nibbled to death by ducks.
And by “ducks” I mean the totalitarian termites gnawing at the foundations of this Country.
“Everything which is not forbidden is allowed” is a constitutional principle of English law— an essential freedom of the ordinary cit.
The converse principle—”everything which is not allowed is forbidden”— applies to public authorities, whose actions were limited to the powers explicitly granted to them.
Note the difference.
I see many posters beat me to it. Cancer and California are synonymous, politically at least.
If I ever come to your door, and ask for a coffee enema, please, just kill me.
Until then I’ll drink my instant coffee.
Starsucks? Yes they do.
From my cold dead hands…
Coffee can kill you, but hey, don’t need to tell another potential sexual partner that you’ve got HIV.
