Coffee is safe

When I have the time and budget (of course…), I love to hangout at Starbucks and have a glass of coffee and surf the internet since Starbucks is one of the few places that allow customers to surf for free. In a way, customers already paid for the surfing via the coffees and other stuffs that they purchased there. That’s why they are not cheap and that’s why budget is one of the criteria… Anyway, the main topic is about coffee since an Australian cancer specialist devised a ranking system on what could really cause cancer and drinking coffee is one of those that will unlikely cause you to get cancer. Drinking coffee, using mobile phones or having breast implants is unlikely to cause cancer, according to a risk ranking system devised by an Australian cancer specialist to debunk popular myths. So, coffee lovers out there, there is nothing to worry about having your shot of coffee whenever you like it. At the same time, mobile phone is also off the cancer risk list and therefore, now you can safely talk on your mobile while having your coffee and surfing the internet for free… Drinking chlorinated water and using a mobile phone was far less likely to cause cancer, Stewart said, although the risks associated with the long-term use of mobile phones had not been fully established. Still, as mentioned above the risk associated with long-term usage of mobile phones could not be proven as yet but everything in moderation should always be the best way to do things. What do you think? Full news: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/2/4/worldupdates/2008-02-04T104132Z_01_NOOTR_RTRMDNC_0_-317542-1&sec=Worldupdates

Interesting report, thanks for sharing. I don't really pay attention to things that cause cancer. I mean I'm not going to go unprotected into a uranium mine, but I'm already pretty unhealthy so a few cell phone radiation waves won't hurt me. I'm an off and on smoker and I enjoy tanning. In Canada Starbucks doesn't offer free internet. You have to pay with a credit card online before it will connect. I just started working at Starbucks a month ago. I love their products and now I get them all the time for free. I've never before heard the rumor that coffee causes cancer though. Its not really good for you for other reasons.
