Are you one of the millions of people who must have their morning coffee fix to start your day off right?
Just the aroma of coffee in the morning makes everything that much better. I don’t drink coffee, but I have to agree, I do love the smell of it. I woke up to the smell of brewing coffee for 18 years of my life, along with the tea kettle whistling throughout our house. Over 50% of the population, which averages to 150 million Americans, drink coffee!
With that said, did you know that Coffee is on the top 10 list of the most heavily contaminated foods we consume? Almost all of our coffee is grown outside of the United States. As a consequence, there is little to no standards to regulate pesticides and other chemicals used to grow this beautiful smelling and tasting, energy giving bean.
The United States actually produces and exports some of these unpleasant and dangerous chemicals to these foreign countries that produce our coffee. It’s way too dangerous and illegal for our growers to use these toxic chemicals on our farm lands. Guess what? When we purchase imported coffee or other processed foods, we can be subjected to all these unknown chemicals substances. Now that doesn’t seen right to me. What do you think?
Tomorrow the benefits of drinking coffee.
