LOS ANGELES, California - California officially gave its blessing to coffee on Monday, declaring the beverage does not pose a "significant" cancer risk.
The rule, proposed a year ago by regulators, means coffee won't have to carry ominous warnings that the beverage may be bad for you.
The state took the rare move after a Los Angeles judge found Starbucks Corp and other companies failed to show that benefits from drinking coffee outweighed risks from a byproduct of the roasting process.
