coffee drinkers are wondering if they should be worried. as julian lima reports-- some experts say they are not concerned. a judge in california has ruled coffee companies must include a cancer warning label on their products. however, despite the judge's decision, a coffee connoisseur says to relax and enjoy your cup of joe.ben gaul has been in the coffee industry for decades. he explains the process of roasting coffee beans produces the chemical acrylamide, which in extremely high doses has been linked to cancer in mice. gaul says it's impossible to drink enough coffee to have any adverse effects."you'd have to consume so much that it'd be impossible to consume that much," says gaul, the head roaster of the coffee exchange. "we would have to have tens of thousands of times the dosage that we can get from a cup of coffee."that same compound is produced in many foods we eat every day including grilled steak, french fires and even roasted vegetables. "we have a long history of cooking our foods, our bodies are used to consuming these and metabolizing these," he adds. so why the cancer disclaimer on coffee in california? gaul says he judge wasn't necessarily wrong. "it just has to do with the way the law is written."that law, proposition 65, was enacted in california in 1986. it requires warning labels for
