Do you also like the smell of coffee even though the roasting process causes it to be a little carcinogenic?
Do you like it? Sounds like a fresh morning.

the amount of acrylamide produced in roasting is too low to pose any threat, and roasting simutaneously breaks down other possible carcinogens; moreover coffee has antioxidants aiding cancer prevention
at the same time, I do love the smell of mutiple carcinogens, notably tobacco cigars and pipe tobacco, hundreds of wine varietals, gin, aged rum, peated whisky, and more
the fact than anything which smells pleasing to many humans is also something which can harm their health is evidence against existence being an "intelligent design" bestowed by a "benevolent" creator — if a deity was actually benevolent, and competent at designing existence, they would only want their creations to be happy, and they would make it impossible, by design, for their creations to ever do anything worthy of punishment ... the alternative scenario is a blatantly clumsy narrative concocted by humans to try to rationalize all the contradictions in their base concoction of deities
