I'm sure you all have your friends that are Anti-Coffee, and Im sure they are always telling you that coffee is not good for you. You know those rumors you hear that it stunts your growth, etc, etc... Well, next time you get into a tiff about your cup of Joe, tell your friend to hit the road, Jack!
A study from the University of Madrid found that coffee does not lead to a early death, even drinking 6 cups a day!
The study found that patients experienced lower risk of heart disease, cancer, and other illnesses because of the antioxidants that coffee contains.
So now you know that drinking coffee can be a good thing, here is how to Green your Coffee:
Select Organic: Its a little more pricey but organic coffee beans eliminate your exposure to hazardous pesticides
Look for Shade Grown Beans: Coffee is a shade loving plant and provides homes to many important birds who are not threatened.
Look for Fair Trade Certification: When you buy coffee that is fair-trade certified, you are insuring that the farmers who grew the beans are paid fair price and giving them assistance to transition to organic growing.
And of course bring your own mug to work :) STAY GREEN YO!
