Coffee Debunked

Stumptown Cold Brew, Seattle WA


The controversy surrounding coffee has gone on for decades. Does anyone else remember being told growing up that coffee will stunt your growth? How about that coffee consumption can lead to cancer and heart disease? For a coffee lover such as myself, such news would be devastating, IF it were true. Studies conducted by the Mayo Clinic not only debunk these coffee myths, but point out many benefits from your morning cup of joe. Organic coffee consumed in moderation can actually aid in disease prevention. The tricky part is that copious amounts of cream and sugar added to coffee beverages negate these benefits. Moral of the story?
Enjoy one to two cups of coffee a day with a little low fat milk or soy milk and learn to love the flavor without all the added sugar.
Unless of course, we're talking Irish Coffee?
