Donna,

Do you buy organic coffee, and is there such a thing as organic decaf?

I love coffe and miss it. My substitute , instant decaf , made with

distilled/purified bottled water is just lacking in the 'brewed

flavor and aroma'. Also do you make yours in a pot with a non clorine

filter? I am going to keep searching until I get that taste back

again.

I always thought brewing coffee in a plastic coffee

maker adds to the toxins. Heating up plastic and

drinking it doesn't seem to nutritious to me.

 

I use a stainless steel coffee press.

Don't know if it is or not. I drink 3 cups a week,

Sat & Sun so I don't worry about it, I would worry if

I drank more like many members probably do. It slows

me down and at this point in life I have to keep

moving at a fast pace.

Thanks for mentioning this I do have a coffee press,

I'll have to dig it out.

Roma is a brand of Coffee Sub. that I like. It is made from roasted grains.

There is another product called Postum, but it has been a while since I have

made any.

-I do not own a coffee maker and not familiar with a 'coffee press'

but I will sure look into it. My favorite way of brewing coffee is

what we call " camp fire coffee " . Simmer ground coffee on the stove

top in a porcelain pan and then strain through a clorine free paper

filter. I agree about plastic and hardly ever use it. For one thing

it is not bio-degradable and dangerous chemicals leach into food.

Never ever in the microwave.

from wheat bran and molasses. I like it but it sure isn't coffee. LOL

With just about everything these days made of plastic,

it's easy to get brainwashed into thinking its safe.

But all the pcb's and other toxins in it does, as you

say, leech into the food. And espec. when you heat it.

I dont' even like to use plastic storage containers. I

buy glass ones at the dollar store. (they have a

plastic lid though) And I put my coffee in a stainless

steel thermas instead of plastic also.

The Glass French Press is good. I like it because you can see how dark your tea

or coffee is getting. I found mine at Tuesday Mornings store. I like that the

filter is built into the plunger. Makes great loose tea leaf tea.

My husband (I don't drink coffee) likes Jim's Organic - they make a

decaf. There are quite a few online purveyors of organic coffees as

well, and most of them have at least one decaf. One DH has used is

Green Mountain. They have both organic and fair trade, which in my

mind competes in importance with organic...

 

Here's a google list of many sites with organic etc coffee.

Folgers's Decaf coffee that you brew in your coffee pot is really not too

bad, Deanna. Give it a try. It comes in a green can!!

There are at least 2 types of ways water is typically made bacteria

safe. One is chlorination and the other is chloramination.

Chlorination is adding chlorine to the water. Chloramination is

adding a combination or chlorine and ammonia to the water. When

chlorine is added to water, it will dissipate after setting for a

certain amount of time depending on volume, surface area, temperature,

etc. Chloraminatin will not dissipate and the chlorine can only be

removed by charcoal filtration. As far as I know, chlorine should be

removed when boiling the water. Maybe you are referring to

chloramination.

 

Here is another viewpoint.

Coffee - It's Time to Avoid It!

 

by: Stephen Stiteler, L.Ac., O.M.D.

 

There are numerous reasons to avoid coffee. Perhaps after reading the

facts, you will agree.

 

· Coffee is a narcotic beverage. The caffeine in coffee

belongs to the same alkaloid group as morphine, cocaine, and

strychnine. The caffeine can combine with your stomach acid

(hydrochloric) to for ma potent toxin called Caffeine Hydrochloride.

As this toxin absorbs into your portal circulation and hits your

liver, bile is released in attempt to flush it from your system. This

is why people feel an increase in " bowel regularity " when they drink

coffee.

 

· Decaffeinated coffee is no better for you than regular

coffee. They both contain a large concentration of Trichloroethylene,

a potent carcinogen primarily used as a degreasing agent in the metal

industry and as a solvent in the dry cleaning industry.

 

· Deadly pesticides are regularly used on coffee plants in

Columbia. Among them are several that have been banned in the USA:

Aldrin, Dieldrin, Chlordane, and Heptachlor. Some speculate that

coffee is the most significant source of toxins in the American Diet,

since coffee is also the primary source of water for Americans.

 

· A naturally occurring carcinogen called Nitrosamine is found

in coffee.

 

· Chlorgenic Acid found in coffee has been linked to toxic side

affects in the liver.

 

· Heavy coffee use depletes the system of Thiamin (B-1). This

can result in symptoms such as fatigue, nervousness, general malaise,

general aches and pains and headaches.

 

· Exhausted adrenal glands: Caffeine is a nervous system

stimulant. It causes adrenal glands to secrete adrenaline, the

hormone that your body depends on during emergencies to elevate heart

rate, increase respiration and blood pressure for a rapid

fight-or-flight response. When coffee is over-used, the adrenal

glands can become exhausted. If caffeine sensitivity has diminished

and more and more coffee is required to get the " buzz " , the adrenals

are showing signs of exhaustion.

 

· Blood Sugar Swings: Caffeine forces the liver to release

glycogen (sugar) into the blood stream. The pancreas responds to the

sudden increase in blood sugar by releasing insulin, the hormone which

causes excess carbohydrates to be stored as fat. Within the span of

an hour or so, the result is a sharp drop in blood sugar. This

creates a condition known as hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. That's

when another cup of coffee seems like a good idea and the cycle

repeats itself.

 

· Higher Cholesterol: RE-heated coffee releases 400% more

Caffenol into the system. Caffenol has bee4n linked to elevated

cholesterol. Never use re-heated coffee.

 

· Acid Imbalance: Over 208 acids in coffee contribute to

indigestion and a wide variety of health problems including arthritis,

rheumatic problems, allergies, skin irritation, and general pain and

inflammation throughout the body. Coffee breaks down into a

by-product called uric acid. This acid is known to burden the

kidneys, contributing to kidney stones and gout. Many people

experience a burning sensation upon drinking coffee because of its

effect of stimulating hyper secretions of hydrochloric acid in the

stomach.

 

· Mineral Depletion: Regular use of coffee inhibits vitamins

and minerals from being properly absorbed in the small intestine.

Coffee causes unnecessary excretion of calcium, magnesium, potassium,

iron, and trace minerals into the urine. All these minerals are

considered essential to good health. Women need to be concerned about

osteoporosis as they reach their menopausal years. Studies show that

women who drink coffee have an increased incidence of osteoporosis

compared to non-coffee drinkers.

 

· Pregnancy Danger: Caffeine can cross the placental barrier

during pregnancy. Miscarriage, infertility, and low birth weight have

been linked to coffee use.

 

· Prostate problems: Coffee can contribute to enlarged prostate

and irritate the urethra in males. Frequent urination has been

attributed to coffee use.

 

There are a number of health conditions for which doctors advise their

patients to eliminate coffee and caffeine from their diets:

 

· Acid indigestion

 

· Anxiety, irritability, nervousness

 

· Colitis, diverticulitis, diarrhea, or other irritable bowel

problems

 

· Chronic fatigue syndrome, and other auto-immune disorders

 

· Diabetes, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

 

· Dizziness, Menniere's syndrome and tinnitus

 

· Gout and kidney stones

 

· Heart disease and heart palpitations

 

· High blood pressure

 

· High cholesterol

 

· Insomnia

 

· Liver disease, gall stones, blocked bile flow

 

· Kidney and bladder disorders

 

· Migraines and other vascular headaches

 

· Osteoporosis

 

· Skin irritations, rashes and dry skin

 

· Ulcers, heartburn, and stomach problems such as hiatal hernia

 

· Urinary tract infections

Okay, I must admit that I am an avid Coffee drinker (horible,

horible), and I bought a 'Coffee Press' for myself for Christmas two

years ago (last Christmas I was in the Hospital) and still am having

problems with the coffee coming through - yucky. Anyone have that

problem? I bought it cuz I like Jamacian Blue Mountain, and my DH

will only drink Maxwell House. The press only makes two large cups

and I would truly love to make it correctly.

I think my drinks are the main 'bad' contents I put into my body! My

Okra is coming up, however, and DH has promised to try it cooked a

different way besides 'deep fryed' which he gets at Cracker Barrell!

I used to use Folgers but found out they are owned by

Proctor and Gamble who does testing on animals still.

I try to buy organic fair trade coffee, alot of

supermarkets carry it now.

I went on Freecycle in my community and found one for

free and I do really like it. It has the filter

attached to it.

Other than the excess caffeine, I've always thought of coffee as a

fairly healthy beverage - especially when it's organic. But I've

recently discovered that most of us add something to our morning cup

of java that makes it extremely unhealthy. You probably think I mean

sugar or fat-laden cream. While those definitely take away from the

healthiness of coffee, they aren't the only things you should be

concerned about here.

 

Besides, most health-conscious people use Stevia or simply take their

coffee black. But even if you add nothing extra to your coffee,

chances are, there's already something in it that can turn it into a

disease-causing beverage. It's your water! That's right. Most water in

the industrialized world has chlorine added to it. And chlorine and

coffee don't mix. Here's why:

 

When chlorine combines with any organic compound from plants, it

produces a dangerous chemical. You may have heard of dioxins. They are

a dangerous class of chemicals produced by the chlorine bleaching of

wood pulp (to make paper). When chlorine combines with the plant

compounds in coffee, it creates a chemical called alloxan. Alloxan is

a poison that destroys the beta cells of the pancreas (the ones that

produce insulin). In fact, researchers use it to induce diabetes in

laboratory animals.

 

What does all this mean? Well, let's say you use regular tap water to

make your coffee every morning. The chemical reaction that takes place

with the chlorine gives you a microdose of alloxan in every cup. If

this is a one-time event, it's probably not a big deal. But if you

drink three or four cups of coffee a day for years, the cumulative

effect could raise your blood sugar significantly.

 

Now, I don't think drinking coffee will cause diabetes by itself. In

fact, there are many studies that indicate drinking coffee can

actually drop your blood sugar (I suspect most of those studies were

done with coffee made with non-chlorinated water). But if you drink

coffee made with chlorinated water, add some sugar and cream to it,

and eat a pastry made from white flour and sugar, you've got a recipe

for serious health problems. If continued daily for many years and

even generations, irreparable damage could occur.

 

So what should you do? You already know to avoid sugar and refined

carbohydrates. So the next step is to avoid coffee made from

chlorinated water. When you make coffee at home, make sure you use

filtered water. Many filters on the market will eliminate chlorine

from your water. You can find inexpensive brands at most home

improvement stores. When you visit a restaurant, coffee shop, or

convenience store, ask if they use filtered water. I have noticed some

places do. That's good news. If they don't know, assume the water is

chlorinated.

 

Naturally I also reccomend filtered water for tea, green

I stopped drinking coffee about 35 years ago because the doctor told me if I

didn't it would kill me and I wasn't ready to die.

I drink my coffee black made with filtered water and

it makes me almost fall asleep for some reason.

Wow! Quite a list of dangers of coffee! I give it up

every Advent and Lent. Think it's time to give it up

PERIOD. There is an unopened jar of Roma in my pantry.

 

Thanks, Diana

-Diana,

Someone in the group just told me about Roma coffee. Since you are

giving up coffee " period " , can I have that jar of Roma in your pantry?

Tee hee.

Smiles and hugs
