Coffee and cancer ... cause or cure ?

[Terpe]

I love coffee.
All kinds of coffee.
Not really fond of starbucks though.

My latest treat from Philippines is a kilo of coffee called Mt.Apo Altura Coffee. It's from Dizon Farms.
It says on the packet that it's "grown from chemical free arabica beans at altitudes of 1500mts and above in the rich volcanic soil of Mt Apo"

I haven't tried it yet though so can't give an opinion.

Anyone here tried it?

No,but I did enjoy Bohol coffee which is also an organic Arabica " from trees grown at 3000 feet above sea level " , said to " offer a unique aroma ... resulting from the blend of Typica and Bourbon trees found in this region " .
How good that we can discuss coffee consumption free from the worry that - at least in moderation - it will be harmful . This time no member can complain about " doom and gloom " from the " health fascists " !
(The World Health Organization also now classes cellphones as 2B carcinogens - but that's another thread, another day - " possibly carcinogenic " means ... maybe ? . )
