A comment on Health Effects of Coffee. Parent comment
If you were to concentrate and inhale the smoke from roasting beans, that would most certainly have deleterious health effects.
It stands to reason, then, that at least some of those nasties are left in the beans when they cool.
However, whether drinking some coffee is always bad will depend if the linear no threshold hypothesis is true for roasted coffee beans?
