Coffee Must Be Labelled With Cancer Warnings--But Is It Really Carcinogenic?

Now, a California judge has ruled every cup of coffee sold be labeled with a cancer warning. Roasted coffee beans contain a acrylamide, but previous medical studies say it's unclear whether the levels are high enough to pose a health risk to humans.
