What Is a Dangerous Amount of Coffee? http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1747/what-is-a-dangerous-amount-of-coffee/ We have written a lot about the health effects of coffee. In general more coffee is better in reducing your risk of type II diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, depression and various types of cancer. But what is a dangerous amount of coffee if you get carried away? Mashable reports that the world’s strongest coffee which is served in Adelaide, Australia at the Viscous Café is pretty strong. A cafe is serving up the coffee to rival all others and it looks almost fatal. The suitably-named Ass Kicker is being served at Viscous Cafe in Adelaide, Australia and it contains the caffeine equivalent of 80 standard cups-o-joe. Legend has it, the first incarnation of the beverage was made for an emergency department nurse who needed to stay awake. The drink was consumed over a period of two days and kept the nurse up for three days in total. A regular eight ounce cup of coffee contains about 95 milligrams of caffeine. Heavy coffee drinkers (five cups a day) consume just less than 500 milligrams. A large coffee served at the Australian café contains five grams (5,000 milligrams) of caffeine. Is that a dangerous amount of coffee? The café has a sign warning folks with high blood pressure, heart disease. Lethal Dose of Caffeine According to experts the lethal dose of caffeine is around 10 grams for an adult. That would be two cup of the Australian coffee chugged down back to back. According to Popular Science discusses how much caffeine it would take to kill you. It turns out that document death from caffeine overdose is rare. So if a true caffeine overdose is so rare, why has caffeine-perhaps the most widely used drug in North America-been blamed for contributing to a handful of deaths over the years? Perhaps because it almost always works in concert with other far more nefarious factors such as alcohol or heart conditions. Individuals with heart diseases that predispose to fatal rhythm disturbances are more likely to die from a large amount of coffee than someone with a totally healthy heart.

Starbucks Pays $100,000 for Woman’s Hot Coffee Burns
Starbucks Pays $100,000 for Woman’s Hot Coffee Burns
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1961/starbucks-pays-100000-for-woman%e2%80%99s-hot-coffee-burns/
Everyone likes a cup of hot coffee, especially healthy organic coffee. But be careful when you prepare or drink very hot coffee.
A warning from WHO is that very hot beverages are associated with a higher incidence of esophageal cancer. It’s not what you drink but how hot it is served that increases the risk of cancer of the esophagus.
In 1994 there was a famous lawsuit against McDonald’s brought by a 79-year-old woman who suffered 3rd degree burns when coffee she had just purchased at a McDonald’s drive through.
One would have thought that the McDonald’s experience would have taught large restaurant and coffee house chains to be careful of how hot their coffee is. But apparently Starbucks has not caught on. USA Today reports a Florida woman severely burned by Starbucks coffee received a $100,000 award from a jury at trial.
How Many Cups of Coffee a Day

How Many Cups of Coffee a Day
Scientific research tells us that drinking coffee lowers our risk of Type II Diabetes, various forms of cancer, the risk of depression and even suicide, as well as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. But, how many cups of coffee a day should you drink to get the maximum health benefit? And are there side effects to be concerned about? Let us start with coffee and reducing the risk of diabetes.
Coffee and Diabetes
We know that more regular or more organic coffee can lead to less diabetes. Drinking organic coffee reduces the incidence of Type II diabetes, the type that affects 95% of people with the disease. Researchers at UCLA have found what may be the reason. There is a protein called sex hormone-binding globulin. Its normal job is to regulate sex hormone activity in the human body. Researchers had suspected that the same hormone has an effect on the development of Type II diabetes. It turns out that drinking coffee increases the levels of sex hormone-binding globulin in the body. Women who drink at least four cups of coffee a day have less than half the incidence of Type II diabetes as women who do not drink coffee. The coffee drinkers all had elevated sex hormone-binding globulin levels while the non-coffee drinkers did not. The relationship was total between the elevated enzyme level and a reduced incidence of Type II diabetes. The bottom line of the UCLA study was that drinking 4 or more cups of coffee a day, with caffeine, reduces Type II diabetes incidence by 56%, more than half.

Is Your Coffee Habit Inherited?
You think that you drink coffee because you like the taste and aroma or because it wakes you up in the morning and keeps you going all day. Is that true? Maybe, as an article in the Los Angeles Times suggests, your coffee habit may be written in your DNA.
Scientists have been studying the genetics behind coffee cravings since the 1960s. In 1962, they found that coffee-drinking habits appeared to be hereditary. More recently, large-scale studies have found an association between the amount of coffee people consume and a small handful of genes.
The authors report that among more than 1,200 people living in Italy, those with the genetic variant PDSS2 tend to drink one fewer cups of coffee per day than those without the variation.
Further analysis revealed that expression of the PDSS2 gene appears to inhibit the body’s ability to break down caffeine. If that’s the case, people with this variant would require less coffee to get a strong caffeine jolt because the caffeine would linger in their system for a longer time.
So it turns out that some folks need less coffee to keep going because they do not metabolize it as fast as the rest of us. If you are one of the folks who drink six cups a day it may just be that your system is breaking down and excreting your coffee faster that other folks. If that is your case blame your parents who passed on that trait.

What's with Death Wish Coffee?
If you watched Super Bowl 50 you may have seen the commercial for Death Wish Coffee. Vikings rowing a long boat on a stormy sea that turns out to be… Death Wish Coffee! So what’s with Death Wish Coffee? Forbes published an article about the commercial, the company and a small business ended up with a Super Bowl commercial.
Mike Brown, the founder and owner of Death Wish Coffee, a blend with twice the amount of caffeine of most coffees, won a contest for small business owners who wanted to advertise during the Super Bowl. In the commercial a Viking ship forges through stormy seas, which turn into a river of strong brew that flows into the mouth of a satisfied coffee drinker. The contest sponsor, Intuit QuickBooks, paid for the production plus the cost to air it during the Super Bowl, a reported $5 million for 30 seconds.
Mr. Brown started packaging and selling his coffee online in an attempt to add some profit to his coffee shop business. While the commercial was running the visits on his web site went up to 10,000 a minute and his sales have doubled. But, what’s with Death Wish Coffee and why is it so strong?
Reduce Risk of Parkinson’s disease by Drinking Coffee

Reduce Risk of Parkinson’s disease by Drinking Coffee
Among the many benefits of coffee and especially healthy organic coffee is that apparently one can reduce risk of Parkinson’s disease by drinking coffee. According to a study of persons on Olmstead County, Minnesota, there is an inverse relationship between the amount of coffee that people drink and their chances of getting Parkinson’s disease. Nearly two hundred persons were followed for twenty years (1976-1995). Researchers noted the amount of coffee that people drank and whether or not they developed Parkinson’s disease. When other things that might affect the incidence of Parkinson’s disease, like smoking, were excluded, there was a clear association between higher coffee consumption and a lower risk of Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. When cells in the brain in a mid-brain region called the substantia nigra die, patients develop shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty with walking and gait. Then in later years, thinking is affected and behavioral problems may occur. Dementia is a hallmark of the end stages of this disease. Parkinson’s disease is much more common after age fifty. Direct costs of this disease in the USA are over $20 Billion a year.
Health and Organic Coffee Antioxidants
Regular as well as organic coffee contains chemicals called antioxidants. Scientifically an antioxidant is a molecule that inhibits the cell damage and cell death in human cells caused by oxidative breakdown of other molecule in the cell. Oxidation is a factor in sickness and aging. Antioxidants help prevent the damage caused by excessive oxidation and to a degree inhibit the aging process. When an oxidative reaction brought on by disease gets going it produces free radicals that start chain reactions which in turn cause cell and tissue damage. The human body has or uses antioxidants to control this situation. Natural means of controlling oxidation include vitamins C and E as well as glutathione. It is low levels of antioxidants that can lead to a condition referred to as oxidative stress and resultant damage to cells in the body. Organic coffee antioxidants are in the same class of molecules that help reduce oxidation. There have been proven to be many health benefits from drinking coffee, many of which can be tracked back to antioxidants.
How Much Coffee Will Kill You?

How Much Coffee Will Kill You?
We have written a lot about healthy organic coffee and the health benefits of coffee in general. There are a lot of good reasons to drink coffee and it turns out that many of those benefits increase as you drink more cups each day. However, caffeine is a stimulant that can give you the shakes if you consume too much. Like most substances there is a limit to how much is good and when it turns bad. So, how much coffee will kill you? Let’s start with what the Mayo Clinic says about how much coffee is too much.
Using caffeine to mask sleep deprivation can create an unwelcome cycle. For example, you may drink caffeinated beverages because you have trouble staying awake during the day. But the caffeine keeps you from falling asleep at night, shortening the length of time you sleep.
And some medications like the antibiotics ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin interact with caffeine and interfere with its breakdown in the body. The anti-asthma drug theophylline will build up in your system because caffeine interferes with its breakdown. And if you drink coffee and use the herbal supplement Echinacea your caffeine level will build up.
But, aside from when to drink coffee and use these substances how much coffee is enough and how much is too much. 400 milligrams of caffeine, about the amount in four cups of brewed coffee is OK for most adults but adolescents should consume only a fourth this amount. If you drink too much these things happen:
Insomnia
Nervousness
Restlessness
Irritability
Stomach upset
Fast heartbeat
Muscle tremors
But how much coffee will kill you? Popular Science reports on the death of a 14-year-old and discusses how much caffeine would it take to kill you.
Why Coffee Protects Against Type II Diabetes
Why Coffee Protects Against Type II Diabetes
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1543/why-coffee-protects-against-type-ii-diabetes/
Researchers have known for years that drinking coffee reduces the risk of type II diabetes as we noted in our article, More Organic Coffee Can Lead to Less Diabetes. Now researchers have identified a specific bioactive substance in coffee that stimulates insulin secretion and sugar uptake by muscle cells. The report is in the Journal of Natural Products.
Cafestol, a Bioactive Substance in Coffee, Stimulates Insulin Secretion and Increases Glucose Uptake in Muscle Cells: Studies in Vitro
Diet and exercise intervention can delay or prevent development of type-2-diabetes (T2D), and high habitual coffee consumption is associated with reduced risk of developing T2D. This study aimed to test whether selected bioactive substances in coffee acutely and/or chronically increase insulin secretion from β-cells and improve insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle cells. Insulin secretion from INS-1E rat insulinoma cells was measured after acute (1-h) and long-term (72-h) incubation with bioactive substances from coffee.
Coffee, Coffea arabica Benth. (Rubiaceae) and Coffea canephora Benth. (Rubiaceae), contains a diversity of bioactive components that varies with coffee species and the roasting and brewing methods.(8-10) The large number of substances includes methylxanthines (especially caffeine), diterpenes (like cafestol and kahweol), the lignan secoisolaricresenol, phenolic acids (e.g., caffeic-, ferulic-, chlorogenic- and quinic acid), trigonelline, minerals, and degradation products.
The specific substance in coffee that stimulates insulin secretion and subsequent uptake of sugar by muscle cells is cafestol. A related compound, caffeic acid has similar effects.
Less Ringing in Your Ears with Coffee
Less Ringing in Your Ears with Coffee
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1205/less-ringing-in-your-ears-with-coffee/
There are all sorts of wonder health benefits from drinking coffee, especially healthy organic coffee. Now there is another benefit. It appears that you get less ringing in your ears with coffee consumption. This info comes from a prospective study derived from the Nurses’ Health Study II. Nurses’ Health Study II
was established by Dr. Walter Willett and colleagues in 1989 with funding from the National Institutes of Health. The primary motivation for developing the Nurses’ Health Study II was to study oral contraceptives, diet and lifestyle risk factors in a population younger than the original Nurses’ Health Study cohort.
Over the years a wealth of useful information has come from follow-ups on this group.
Less Ringing in Your Ears with Coffee
According to info published by the researchers in Nurses’ Health Study II, caffeine was originally thought to cause tinnitus, also called ringing in the ears. In order to test this hypothesis the researchers looked at the reports from 65,085 women aged 30 to 44 in the study group as of 1991. Information regarding ringing in the ears, tinnitus, was obtained from 2009 reports. Eighteen years after the initial baseline info was obtained more than 5000 women reported some degree of ringing in the ears. Interestingly the relationship to drinking coffee was opposite what common wisdom had predicted. Women who reported drinking two and three cups of coffee day had a significantly lower incidence of this condition that women who drank a cup of coffee a day or less. The conclusion of the report was that women who drink coffee have a lower incidence of ringing in the ears that those who do not. The study did not include men and did not address organic versus regular coffee.
One More Good Reason to Drink Coffee
This is just one more good reason to drink coffee. We have reported on these pages how coffee reduces the risk of type II diabetes, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer and colon cancer. Scientific evidence indicates that drinking coffee reduces your risk getting Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, depression or cirrhosis of the liver. We even noted that coffee may make sex better!
Drink Coffee to Avoid Gallstones
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/772/drink-coffee-to-avoid-gallstones/
Drink Coffee to Avoid Gallstones
OK folks, here is one more benefit of drinking healthy coffee, and especially healthy organic coffee. It turns out that long term steady coffee consumption can reduce the risk of gallstones. What? Drink coffee to avoid gallstones? Well, you probably already like coffee or you would not be reading this so you do not need to drink coffee to avoid gallstones. You simply need to enjoy your coffee, not decaf, and get one more added benefit of coffee consumption. Where does this information come from? Scientists at the Harvard School of Public Heath set up a prospective study. This means that they set out to test whether or not something was true. In this case they compared coffee drinkers with non-coffee drinkers and two to three cups a day drinkers with four or more cup a day drinkers. They followed over forty thousand men for ten years. They recorded coffee consumption and consumption of other caffeinated drinks and whether or not these men ended up with symptomatic gall bladder disease and gall stones. The men in the study at the beginning ranged from forty to seventy-five years of age. The scientists only were interested in men who did not already have gall bladder disease.
So What Were the Results?
The researchers found that premise that you can drink coffee to avoid gallstones may well be true. Out of the forty thousand men in the study over a decade just over a thousand developed gall bladder disease, symptoms and stones. It turned out, all other factors being equal, that men who drank two to three cups of coffee a day had six tenths as many cases of gall bladder disease as men who did not drink coffee. Men who drank four cups or more a day had 55% the risk of getting gall bladder disease as non-coffee drinkers. This effect did not hold for decaf drinkers! The fact that you can apparently drink coffee to avoid gallstones held true for all brewing methods. Organic coffee was not tested versus regular coffee.
Coffee Supply Chain Nightmare
The price of coffee has gone up a bit on the NYMEX due a predicted shortfall in Brazil’s coffee crop. But, the price that you pay for coffee is going up even more due to a coffee supply chain nightmare that is affecting global shipping or all goods.

Is Coffee Leaf Rust Due to Climate Change
It is fashionable these days to blame any natural phenomena on global warming. With this in mind we ask a question. Is coffee leaf rust due to climate change? This is a pertinent question as Arabica coffee production has been devastated in several nations in the Western Hemisphere due to coffee leaf rust. There is a strong argument that temperatures are up and there certainly is a high incidence of leaf rust, la rolla in Spanish, devastating coffee crops. Over two thirds of coffee consumed worldwide is Arabica coffee. The other common variety, Robusta, is resistant to leaf rust but generally considered to be an inferior coffee. Let us take a look at the history of coffee leaf rust and efforts to control it such as with Colombian rust resistant coffee.
La Rolla
Coffee leaf rust is a fungal disease. It wiped out coffee plantations in Asia in the middle of the 19th century. The country of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) was a coffee producer before the leaf rust drove planters to grow tea! The disease spread from the East Indies to South Asia and Africa and eventually arrived in the new world, almost a century later around 1970. Today coffee leaf rust threatens the livelihoods of coffee growers and workers throughout Central America. Due to foresight and hard work a country such as Colombia has produced a couple of leaf rust resistant strains over the last quarter of a century and greatly reduced the incidence of the plant disease in that country. Our original question was this: Is coffee leaf rust due to climate change? If that is the case you need to make the case for climate change in South Asia, the East Indies, and East Africa more than a century ago!
Dealing with Coffee Leaf Rust
Leaf rust kills organic coffee crops as well as regular coffee. The basic problem with coffee leaf rust is that when there is a big infestation the planter needs to remove all plants, treat the soil, and replant. This takes five years to produce a crop with new plants. In addition, if the planter simply chooses to use effective fungicides he loses his organic coffee certification for three years or more. The cost issues are such that leaf rust not only threatens coffee growers in general but also threatens to drive organic producers out of their niche. Is coffee leaf rust due to climate change? This is not an issue for the small grower. Finding rust resistant strains, treating outbreaks, and making a profit to support the family are the important issues.
Coffee and Your Heart
Coffee and Your Heart
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1487/coffee-and-your-heart/
There seems to be more good news every about coffee and your heart. Several months ago researchers reported that coffee drinkers have lower risk of having calcium deposits in their coronary arteries. Drinking three to four cups a day maximized the benefit of avoiding clogged coronary arteries as reported in Live Science. This means a lower risk of heart attacks.
The study of healthy young adults in Korea found that, compared with people who didn’t drink coffee, those who drank three to five cups of java per day had a lower risk of having calcium deposits in their coronary arteries, which is an indicator of heart disease. (The coronary arteries are the vessels that bring oxygenated blood to the heart muscle itself.)
The study participants who drank three to four cups had the lowest risk of developing clogged arteries seen in the study, said Dr. Eliseo Guallar, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland, and co-author of the study published today (March 2) in the journal Heart.
It seems like the evidence for coffee as a health benefit just keeps coming.
Coffee Safe for Your Heart
Another issue with coffee and your heart was the concern that too much coffee would precipitate a condition called atrial fibrillation. Fox News reports that coffee is safe for your heart in this regard. (Republished from Live Science)
Researchers found that drinking coffee was not associated with an increased risk of a condition called atrial fibrillation, which is a type of irregular heartbeat, in either men or women.
“This is largest prospective study to date on the association between coffee consumption and risk of atrial fibrillation. We find no evidence that high consumption of coffee increases the risk of atrial fibrillation,” Susanna Larsson, an associate professor of epidemiology at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and lead author on the study, said in a statement.
It was a long term concern that since coffee is a stimulant that it would cause heart beat irregularities. But, that is not the case so drink up and enjoy. And there are more health benefits.
How Weather and Climate Affect Coffee Leaf Rust
A problem in a coffee growing region like Colombia is that it is full or micro-climates because of the extent of its mountainous terrain. Thus sorting out effects of climate versus effects of local weather on coffee leaf rust can be difficult.

Why the Soil Is So Fertile Where They Grow Colombian Coffee
Nevado Del Ruiz is a very broad volcano, capped by glaciers and extensive snow fields. There is evidence of it erupting going back 8,600 years and eruptions have been observed since 1570. This volcano was responsible for the greatest loss of life from a volcano in the history of Latin America when its 1985 eruption melted the dome of snow and ice.

Coffee and Stroke
Over the years evidence has accumulated for many beneficial health effects of drinking coffee. Now investigations regarding coffee and stoke indicate that coffee is helpful in this arena as well. In the USA stroke is the leading cause of death with more than 795,000 having strokes each year. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or ruptures. This deprives brain tissue of blood supply and that tissue dies.

Coffee pests-and-diseases
Coffee leaf rust, root rot disease, and coffee berry disease are among those coffee pests and diseases that take hold in otherwise healthy coffee crops. There are diseases and pests that can infest a coffee crop and ruin it. Knowing how to prevent or treat these problems is essential for a coffee farmer to avoid financial ruin. The greatest damage to coffee crops comes from pathogenic fungi followed by bacteria or viruses.

Uses of Robusta Coffee Beans
The two main commercial types of coffee are Arabica and Robusta. Arabica is better-tasting coffee and Colombian coffee growers produce. Robusta has a higher caffeine content, adds a “kick” to Italian espresso, and is the main source of caffeine in soft drinks sold worldwide.

Nearly two hundred persons were followed for twenty years (1976-1995). Researchers noted the amount of coffee that people drank and whether or not they developed Parkinson’s disease. When other things that might affect the incidence of Parkinson’s disease, like smoking, were excluded, there was a clear association between higher coffee consumption and a lower risk of Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. When cells in the brain in a mid-brain region called the substantia nigra die, patients develop shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty with walking and gait. Then in later years, thinking is affected and behavioral problems may occur. Dementia is a hallmark of the end stages of this disease. Parkinson’s disease is much more common after age fifty. Direct costs of this disease in the USA are over $20 Billion a year.
Health and Organic Coffee Antioxidants
Regular as well as organic coffee contains chemicals called antioxidants. Scientifically an antioxidant is a molecule that inhibits the cell damage and cell death in human cells caused by oxidative breakdown of other molecule in the cell. Oxidation is a factor in sickness and aging. Antioxidants help prevent the damage caused by excessive oxidation and to a degree inhibit the aging process. When an oxidative reaction brought on by disease gets going it produces free radicals that start chain reactions which in turn cause cell and tissue damage. The human body has or uses antioxidants to control this situation. Natural means of controlling oxidation include vitamins C and E as well as glutathione. It is low levels of antioxidants that can lead to a condition referred to as oxidative stress and resultant damage to cells in the body. Organic coffee antioxidants are in the same class of molecules that help reduce oxidation. There have been proven to be many health benefits from drinking coffee, many of which can be tracked back to antioxidants.
How Much Coffee Will Kill You?

How Much Coffee Will Kill You?
We have written a lot about healthy organic coffee and the health benefits of coffee in general. There are a lot of good reasons to drink coffee and it turns out that many of those benefits increase as you drink more cups each day. However, caffeine is a stimulant that can give you the shakes if you consume too much. Like most substances there is a limit to how much is good and when it turns bad. So, how much coffee will kill you? Let’s start with what the Mayo Clinic says about how much coffee is too much.
Using caffeine to mask sleep deprivation can create an unwelcome cycle. For example, you may drink caffeinated beverages because you have trouble staying awake during the day. But the caffeine keeps you from falling asleep at night, shortening the length of time you sleep.
And some medications like the antibiotics ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin interact with caffeine and interfere with its breakdown in the body. The anti-asthma drug theophylline will build up in your system because caffeine interferes with its breakdown. And if you drink coffee and use the herbal supplement Echinacea your caffeine level will build up.
But, aside from when to drink coffee and use these substances how much coffee is enough and how much is too much. 400 milligrams of caffeine, about the amount in four cups of brewed coffee is OK for most adults but adolescents should consume only a fourth this amount. If you drink too much these things happen:
Insomnia
Nervousness
Restlessness
Irritability
Stomach upset
Fast heartbeat
Muscle tremors
But how much coffee will kill you? Popular Science reports on the death of a 14-year-old and discusses how much caffeine would it take to kill you.
Why Coffee Protects Against Type II Diabetes
Why Coffee Protects Against Type II Diabetes
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1543/why-coffee-protects-against-type-ii-diabetes/
Researchers have known for years that drinking coffee reduces the risk of type II diabetes as we noted in our article, More Organic Coffee Can Lead to Less Diabetes. Now researchers have identified a specific bioactive substance in coffee that stimulates insulin secretion and sugar uptake by muscle cells. The report is in the Journal of Natural Products.
Cafestol, a Bioactive Substance in Coffee, Stimulates Insulin Secretion and Increases Glucose Uptake in Muscle Cells: Studies in Vitro
Diet and exercise intervention can delay or prevent development of type-2-diabetes (T2D), and high habitual coffee consumption is associated with reduced risk of developing T2D. This study aimed to test whether selected bioactive substances in coffee acutely and/or chronically increase insulin secretion from β-cells and improve insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle cells. Insulin secretion from INS-1E rat insulinoma cells was measured after acute (1-h) and long-term (72-h) incubation with bioactive substances from coffee.
Coffee, Coffea arabica Benth. (Rubiaceae) and Coffea canephora Benth. (Rubiaceae), contains a diversity of bioactive components that varies with coffee species and the roasting and brewing methods.(8-10) The large number of substances includes methylxanthines (especially caffeine), diterpenes (like cafestol and kahweol), the lignan secoisolaricresenol, phenolic acids (e.g., caffeic-, ferulic-, chlorogenic- and quinic acid), trigonelline, minerals, and degradation products.
The specific substance in coffee that stimulates insulin secretion and subsequent uptake of sugar by muscle cells is cafestol. A related compound, caffeic acid has similar effects.
Less Ringing in Your Ears with Coffee
Less Ringing in Your Ears with Coffee
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1205/less-ringing-in-your-ears-with-coffee/
There are all sorts of wonder health benefits from drinking coffee, especially healthy organic coffee. Now there is another benefit. It appears that you get less ringing in your ears with coffee consumption. This info comes from a prospective study derived from the Nurses’ Health Study II. Nurses’ Health Study II
was established by Dr. Walter Willett and colleagues in 1989 with funding from the National Institutes of Health. The primary motivation for developing the Nurses’ Health Study II was to study oral contraceptives, diet and lifestyle risk factors in a population younger than the original Nurses’ Health Study cohort.
Over the years a wealth of useful information has come from follow-ups on this group.
Less Ringing in Your Ears with Coffee
According to info published by the researchers in Nurses’ Health Study II, caffeine was originally thought to cause tinnitus, also called ringing in the ears. In order to test this hypothesis the researchers looked at the reports from 65,085 women aged 30 to 44 in the study group as of 1991. Information regarding ringing in the ears, tinnitus, was obtained from 2009 reports. Eighteen years after the initial baseline info was obtained more than 5000 women reported some degree of ringing in the ears. Interestingly the relationship to drinking coffee was opposite what common wisdom had predicted. Women who reported drinking two and three cups of coffee day had a significantly lower incidence of this condition that women who drank a cup of coffee a day or less. The conclusion of the report was that women who drink coffee have a lower incidence of ringing in the ears that those who do not. The study did not include men and did not address organic versus regular coffee.
One More Good Reason to Drink Coffee
This is just one more good reason to drink coffee. We have reported on these pages how coffee reduces the risk of type II diabetes, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer and colon cancer. Scientific evidence indicates that drinking coffee reduces your risk getting Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, depression or cirrhosis of the liver. We even noted that coffee may make sex better!
Drink Coffee to Avoid Gallstones
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/772/drink-coffee-to-avoid-gallstones/
Drink Coffee to Avoid Gallstones
OK folks, here is one more benefit of drinking healthy coffee, and especially healthy organic coffee. It turns out that long term steady coffee consumption can reduce the risk of gallstones. What? Drink coffee to avoid gallstones? Well, you probably already like coffee or you would not be reading this so you do not need to drink coffee to avoid gallstones. You simply need to enjoy your coffee, not decaf, and get one more added benefit of coffee consumption. Where does this information come from? Scientists at the Harvard School of Public Heath set up a prospective study. This means that they set out to test whether or not something was true. In this case they compared coffee drinkers with non-coffee drinkers and two to three cups a day drinkers with four or more cup a day drinkers. They followed over forty thousand men for ten years. They recorded coffee consumption and consumption of other caffeinated drinks and whether or not these men ended up with symptomatic gall bladder disease and gall stones. The men in the study at the beginning ranged from forty to seventy-five years of age. The scientists only were interested in men who did not already have gall bladder disease.
So What Were the Results?
The researchers found that premise that you can drink coffee to avoid gallstones may well be true. Out of the forty thousand men in the study over a decade just over a thousand developed gall bladder disease, symptoms and stones. It turned out, all other factors being equal, that men who drank two to three cups of coffee a day had six tenths as many cases of gall bladder disease as men who did not drink coffee. Men who drank four cups or more a day had 55% the risk of getting gall bladder disease as non-coffee drinkers. This effect did not hold for decaf drinkers! The fact that you can apparently drink coffee to avoid gallstones held true for all brewing methods. Organic coffee was not tested versus regular coffee.
Coffee Supply Chain Nightmare
The price of coffee has gone up a bit on the NYMEX due a predicted shortfall in Brazil’s coffee crop. But, the price that you pay for coffee is going up even more due to a coffee supply chain nightmare that is affecting global shipping or all goods.

Is Coffee Leaf Rust Due to Climate Change
It is fashionable these days to blame any natural phenomena on global warming. With this in mind we ask a question. Is coffee leaf rust due to climate change? This is a pertinent question as Arabica coffee production has been devastated in several nations in the Western Hemisphere due to coffee leaf rust. There is a strong argument that temperatures are up and there certainly is a high incidence of leaf rust, la rolla in Spanish, devastating coffee crops. Over two thirds of coffee consumed worldwide is Arabica coffee. The other common variety, Robusta, is resistant to leaf rust but generally considered to be an inferior coffee. Let us take a look at the history of coffee leaf rust and efforts to control it such as with Colombian rust resistant coffee.
La Rolla
Coffee leaf rust is a fungal disease. It wiped out coffee plantations in Asia in the middle of the 19th century. The country of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) was a coffee producer before the leaf rust drove planters to grow tea! The disease spread from the East Indies to South Asia and Africa and eventually arrived in the new world, almost a century later around 1970. Today coffee leaf rust threatens the livelihoods of coffee growers and workers throughout Central America. Due to foresight and hard work a country such as Colombia has produced a couple of leaf rust resistant strains over the last quarter of a century and greatly reduced the incidence of the plant disease in that country. Our original question was this: Is coffee leaf rust due to climate change? If that is the case you need to make the case for climate change in South Asia, the East Indies, and East Africa more than a century ago!
Dealing with Coffee Leaf Rust
Leaf rust kills organic coffee crops as well as regular coffee. The basic problem with coffee leaf rust is that when there is a big infestation the planter needs to remove all plants, treat the soil, and replant. This takes five years to produce a crop with new plants. In addition, if the planter simply chooses to use effective fungicides he loses his organic coffee certification for three years or more. The cost issues are such that leaf rust not only threatens coffee growers in general but also threatens to drive organic producers out of their niche. Is coffee leaf rust due to climate change? This is not an issue for the small grower. Finding rust resistant strains, treating outbreaks, and making a profit to support the family are the important issues.
Coffee and Your Heart
Coffee and Your Heart
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1487/coffee-and-your-heart/
There seems to be more good news every about coffee and your heart. Several months ago researchers reported that coffee drinkers have lower risk of having calcium deposits in their coronary arteries. Drinking three to four cups a day maximized the benefit of avoiding clogged coronary arteries as reported in Live Science. This means a lower risk of heart attacks.
The study of healthy young adults in Korea found that, compared with people who didn’t drink coffee, those who drank three to five cups of java per day had a lower risk of having calcium deposits in their coronary arteries, which is an indicator of heart disease. (The coronary arteries are the vessels that bring oxygenated blood to the heart muscle itself.)
The study participants who drank three to four cups had the lowest risk of developing clogged arteries seen in the study, said Dr. Eliseo Guallar, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland, and co-author of the study published today (March 2) in the journal Heart.
It seems like the evidence for coffee as a health benefit just keeps coming.
Coffee Safe for Your Heart
Another issue with coffee and your heart was the concern that too much coffee would precipitate a condition called atrial fibrillation. Fox News reports that coffee is safe for your heart in this regard. (Republished from Live Science)
Researchers found that drinking coffee was not associated with an increased risk of a condition called atrial fibrillation, which is a type of irregular heartbeat, in either men or women.
“This is largest prospective study to date on the association between coffee consumption and risk of atrial fibrillation. We find no evidence that high consumption of coffee increases the risk of atrial fibrillation,” Susanna Larsson, an associate professor of epidemiology at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and lead author on the study, said in a statement.
It was a long term concern that since coffee is a stimulant that it would cause heart beat irregularities. But, that is not the case so drink up and enjoy. And there are more health benefits.

Coffee and Stroke
Over the years evidence has accumulated for many beneficial health effects of drinking coffee. Now investigations regarding coffee and stoke indicate that coffee is helpful in this arena as well. In the USA stroke is the leading cause of death with more than 795,000 having strokes each year. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or ruptures. This deprives brain tissue of blood supply and that tissue dies.

Organic Coffee Side Effects
https://buyorganiccoffee.org/2235/organic-coffee-side-effects/
Organic Coffee Side Effects
When we think of something having side effects we usually expect something bad. But, that is not the case with organic coffee. Organic coffee side effects are all good! You may be someone who drinks coffee in the morning to get started. Or you may need a cup of java to make it through a long afternoon at work. And you probably like the aroma and flavor of a good cup of coffee. It does not matter why you drink coffee or how much you drink. You will experience positive organic coffee side effects even if you are not aware of them.
Organic Coffee Side Effects
Better quality coffee
Health benefits of coffee
Benefits of organic versus regular coffee
Helping save the environment
Organic Coffee Side Effects, 1: Better Quality Coffee
Your organic coffee is almost always Arabica organic coffee.
There are two basic species of coffee, Arabica and Robusta. Arabica coffee is generally believed to be the first type of coffee to be cultivated with a tradition stretching back over a thousand years. When you buy Arabica organic coffee you are choosing the species of coffee with superior taste.
Arabica has less caffeine than Robusta, the other basic coffee type. But Arabica has more complex flavor and aroma and is the ingredient of most gourmet coffees. So, when you choose organic coffee for whatever purpose, the side effects are better aroma and better taste.
Organic Coffee Side Effects, 2: Health Benefits
Coffee has many health benefits. And most of those benefits come from the antioxidants found in green coffee and also those formed during roasting. Higher quality coffee such as organic coffee typically has more antioxidants and therefore more health benefits.
For the complete lowdown on organic coffee health benefits, take a look at our article of the same name. The short version is that if you drink coffee you are less likely to get a whole bunch of bad diseases. These diseases which you can perhaps avoid include Type II diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, liver cancer, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer, colon cancer, death by suicide, and progressive dementia.
Not only are you likely to live longer by drinking coffee, you will perform better and enjoy yourself more along the way. For folks who engage in strength and endurance sports a cup or two of coffee beforehand helps their performance. And, it turns out that sex is better too for coffee drinkers. What? Does coffee make sex better?
Scientific research shows that coffee can lead to sexual arousal in females. Studies of sixtyish men and women show that coffee drinking women have sex more frequently and coffee drinking men have higher potency.
UTZ Certified Coffee
https://buyorganiccoffee.org/832/utz-certified-coffee/
UTZ Certified Coffee
Individuals looking for organic coffee may run across the UTZ Certified label. This label says that the bag of coffee you are buying came from a coffee farm that employed sustainable agricultural practices, good environmental practices and efficient farm management. A key feature of the UTZ Certified label is that UTZ Certified coffee is traced from grower to roaster. UTZ certified coffee is sold in North America, Europe, and Japan, in nearly fifty nations. According to UTZ,
UTZ Certified stands for sustainable farming and better opportunities for farmers, their families and our planet. The UTZ program enables farmers to learn better farming methods, improve working conditions and take better care of their children and the environment. Through the UTZ-program farmers grow better crops, generate more income and create better opportunities while safeguarding the environment and securing the earth’s natural resources.
UTZ starts by educating the coffee farmer, working with him to achieve organic status, and then follows through by providing a market for his organic coffee.
Tough Requirements, Gradual Implementation with UTZ Certified Coffee
The long term goals of UTZ are good agricultural practices, safe and healthy working conditions, abolishment of child labor, and environmental protection. However, a grower does not need to accomplish all that is required in the first year. This allows a grower to sign up to get his coffee UTZ certified, learn what is necessary, and grow into the long term requirements of the program. Because of the close tracking feature of all UTZ Certified products, consumers of healthy organic coffeeproduced by these growers can be assured of product quality as well as the farming practices that brought it to market.
What UTZ Teaches and Requires
A UTZ grower learns to do the following and then continues to do what is needed.
• Reduce and prevent soil erosion
• Keep records of fertilizer and chemical use and use these products responsibly
• Follow good farming practices including integrated pest management
• Avoid deforestation
• Protect water sources, native and endangered species
• Use native fauna for shade grown coffee
• Train workers properly in their own language
• Implement and follow through on health and safety requirements
• Teach and require good hygiene
• Trace coffee from planting to roaster
• Carry out internal inspections every year
Shade Grown Coffee Benefits
https://buyorganiccoffee.org/2240/shade-grown-coffee-benefits/
Shade Grown Coffee Benefits
Organic coffee is a better choice than regular coffee. This is because organic coffee has all of the benefits of coffee and none of the impurities than can be found in a regular cup or java. And shade grown coffee is often a better choice than plain organic. Why is this? What are the shade grown coffee benefits that convince us to buy shade grown instead of organic or regular coffee?
Shade Grown Coffee
Shade Grown Coffee Benefits
Gourmet coffee
Sustainable agriculture
Preservation of biodiversity
Soil preservation as a priority
Commitment to responsible land management
Shade Grown Coffee Benefits 1: Shade grown is gourmet coffee
A couple of years ago we wrote about gourmet coffee and what that means.
In general gourmet coffee is characterized by high quality beans and skillful preparation. In the world of coffee many consider Jamaican Blue Mountain, Kona from Hawaii, select organic coffees from Panama and Arabic coffee from Colombia as being of high gourmet quality. But there is more to the story.
Growing coffee in the shade results in a finer coffee. This is similar to growing coffee at higher altitudes. The beans mature more slowly and with deeper and richer flavor.
Shade Grown Coffee Benefits 2: Sustainable Agriculture
The ideal way to grow coffee in the shade is to plant coffee within an existing forest. Mother Nature takes care of the rest. In this ideal situation there are no herbicides, fungicides, pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. This is organic coffee at its finest.
Forested coffee farms are bio-rich buffer zones for plants, flowers and wildlife that are at risk as a result of deforestation and poor land management. Planting coffee under the existing forest canopy results in a high quality coffee. And income from selling the shade grown coffee helps the farmer keep the land in its original pristine condition.
Without having to resort to the use of synthetic fertilizers or other chemicals the natural plants are all preserved. And the water table is not polluted. Sustainable agriculture is one of the best shade grown coffee benefits.
