Subject: Surprise! Best Beverage for Good Health

[Guest guest]

Thank you thank you thank you!! :-) All those

Medieterranean countries - not to mention

Scandinavians - not to mention north americans -

couldn't have been wrong all this time. I'm all for

all beans - including the coffee bean. Heck,

especially the coffee bean.

 

Love,

Pat :-)

Hi Pat. Isn't it interesting how these pro-coffee studies

say some of the opposite of what other health studies

report? Some days i think i should quit drinking coffee

and then just in the nick of time i read an article like this.

All things in moderation seems to be the key.

i probably drink too much coffee!

The glassy hill I climbed for thee,

The bloody shirt I wrang for thee,

Will you not waken and turn to me?

Those studies! They come out with a study going in this direction one week

and another in the opposite direction the next.

 

Some coffees smell so dang good. Wish I liked the flavor more.

Well, there certainly are a lot of pro-coffee studies,

and on balance it may be healthy. However, I think

this particular study is more a testament to the poor

standard American diet (SAD) that coffee is our (as a

country) greatest source of antioxidants!

Good point. There's that, and there's also the horribly unfair wages

coffee farmers get, and land devastation.

While I was still drinking coffee I was buying Fair Trade, Shade Grown,

Organic coffee. It was the only way I could figure out how to support the

coffee farmers and the environment. I was only paying $7.99 a pound for it

which was really comparable to any other coffee available and getting

Italian Roast. Can't beat that in my book! And it was great coffee...puts

Starbucks to shame both in the taste of their coffee and their buying habits

which should put them to shame. Sorry to admit that they started in Seattle,

WA and they do know better, but greed is rampant.

Yep, they should. They give lip service but that's about it I think.
