I was drinking my usual flask of ginger and ginseng tea on the train to work recently when I was approached by a salesperson promoting a brand of organic coffee imported from Mexico. The coffee was claimed to have medicinal properties, including, of course, the now obligatory anticancer effects. The notion that coffee is perhaps now "good for you" surprised me. WHO classifies coffee as a group 2B carcinogen (albeit in reference to only certain cancers), which is the same designation ascribed to mobile phones.
