Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
Coffee is serious business. We Americans drink about 400 million cups of it per day and spend several billion dollars on it each year. It's the most popular drug on earth, and certainly the most socially acceptable. In many ways, coffee's the closest thing we've got to a universal, daily ritual, as just about every morning, billions of people across the planet prostrate themselves before the holy, energy-giving legume. It also hails from the same place the earliest members of our species do: East Africa (Ethiopia, to be exact). That the most industrious animal ever to walk the planet and the psychoactive legume that fuels said industry both hail from the same place on earth is pure poetry.
Coffee's also delicious. I'd say you'd have to pry my coffee from my cold, dead fingers, only the ensuing struggle would slosh it all onto the floor, and that would be such a waste.
Yet it's also considered to be a vice, one of those substances that "everyone knows" is bad for you.
Is it?
Before I get into the evidence, let's give the ending away early: it's (probably) good for (most of) you. And yeah, I'm biased as hell. So what? It's based on considerable evidence, and you likely share the same pro-coffee bias.
The majority of the evidence in favor of coffee consists of epidemiological studies—making observations of and gathering data from large populations. These cannot establish causation, but the trend is clear: it seems to be good for us.
Breast cancer: Consumption of caffeinated coffee, but not decaf, has a protective effect on postmenopausal breast cancer risk.
Cancer: Coffee consumption is associated with a modest reduction in cancer "at any site."
Cognitive decline: Coffee consumption is consistently associated with lower rates of age-related cognitive decline.
Colorectal cancer: Most research shows an inverse relationship between coffee drinking and colorectal cancer. Some research suggests a positive link, but the results are muddied by the fact that coffee drinkers were more likely to be smokers.
Diabetes: Increasing your coffee intake results in a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, even if it's decaf.
Endothelial function: Coffee polyphenols improve endothelial function after glucose loading in men, ameliorate the endothelial dysfunction that normally follows a meal, and prevent the hyperglycemia associated with endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress.
Gallstones: Among American men, coffee intake protects against symptomatic gallstone disease.
Inflammation: After abstaining from coffee for a month, habitual coffee drinkers were given 4 cups a day for the second month and 8 cups a day for the third. Markers of subclinical inflammation all dropped and HDL cholesterol increased with coffee consumption.
Liver cancer: Coffee has a protective relationship with liver cancer mediated by markers of liver damage and inflammation.
Mortality: Coffee consumption has an inverse relationship to all-cause mortality. Early mortality, that is; it doesn't make you immortal. Though nurses who drink the most coffee do have longer telomeres.
Oxidative stress: Women with higher caffeine intakes (via coffee and tea) show evidence of lower oxidative stress, less DNA damage, and a greater capacity for DNA repair.
Parkinson's disease: Higher coffee intakes predict slightly lower rates of Parkinson's disease.
Prostate cancer: Coffee consumption reduces risk of prostate cancer.
Stroke: Moderate coffee consumption is associated with a reduced risk of stroke. Even high coffee consumption (8 cups a day) appears slightly protective.
Sun damage: Coffee and its polyphenols are associated with protection against photoaging.
It becomes even more convincing when you realize that coffee isn't a conventionally "healthy" beverage. There's very little room to make the "healthy user bias" argument.
Potential disease and death avoidance is an important feature of coffee, to be sure, but what about the shorter-term benefits? Most people don't drink coffee to "improve their postprandial hyperglycemic response." They drink it because it makes them feel good and improves their performance.
It boosts executive functioning and working memory (so long as the task isn't highly dependent on working memory). Coffee also improves your mood and makes you think you're drawing from a bottomless well of mental energy, an effect that may be even more important than the actual physiological effects on cognition. I call it productive optimism, and I rely on it for quick bursts of creation and idea generation in the morning. Even decaf works, as the chlorogenic acid present in both decaf and caffeinated coffee have been shown to improve mood.
Whether it's endurance, HIIT, sprint, badminton, resistance training, or almost any athletic pursuit you can name, a cup or two of coffee before your workout can improve performance.
And contrary to popular belief, coffee does not dehydrate you. Studies show no difference in hydration status between people drinking coffee, water, or other beverages. One measured fluid, electrolyte, and renal indices of hydration over eleven days of caffeine consumption in human subjects, finding that doses of up to 6 mg caffeine per kilogram of body weight had no effect on body mass, urine osmolality (urine concentration), urine specific gravity (concentration of excreted materials in urine), urine color, urine volume, sodium excretion, potassium secretion, creatinine content, blood urea nitrogen (forms when protein breaks down), and serum levels of sodium and potassium.
Maybe if goji berry tea shops were on every corner, every man, woman, and child ate acai bowls for breakfast, coffee wouldn't be the biggest source of phytonutrients. Gram for gram, coffee ranks behind most berries. But in the real world, where most people drink several large cups of coffee each day, coffee is the the primary way we get our antioxidants. That's true for Japan, Spain, Poland, and many other countries.
You Primal folks reading this over your Big Ass Salads full of colorful veggies and typing away with your turmeric-dusted fingers get the best of both worlds: the big load of coffee polyphenols plus the antioxidants found in all the other colorful produce the world has to offer.
True, there are some negative studies. Animal studies in particular are more likely to show negative results. But it's important to realize that animals are not habitual coffee drinkers. Giving a group of lab mice a bunch of caffeinated coffee isn't the same as giving it to humans who've been drinking it for years. Caffeine, like so many other plant compounds we hold in high regard, is a natural plant pesticide that certain plants (like coffee and tea) employ to ward off and even kill small predators. The bulk of the evidence suggests that humans have co-opted this "toxin" and made it healthy, hormetic input that, in the right doses, improves our health and well-being.
That said, not everyone should start a pot-a-day habit. Depending on several variables, coffee consumption has its downsides.
Coffee has an obvious relationship with sleep: it counters it. The most common use of coffee is to stay awake. It can't replace sleep over the long term, but in the short term it can mitigate the cognitive deficits. And studies indicate it can have a bad effect on sleep if consumed at the wrong time:
No surprises here: don't drink caffeinated coffee at night and hope to sleep normally.
Caffeine crosses the placenta, and numerous studies indicate it has a deleterious effect on the unborn. Some possible effects:
Moms-to-be, stick to decaf.
Studies show that coffee induces a modest but noticeable spike in cortisol that levels off as you become habituated to coffee. However, it may inhibit your ability to modulate existing cortisol levels. If you're already stressed out, turning to the bean may make things worse and keep cortisol elevated.
Folks who drink coffee regularly probably don't need to worry about cortisol, since their bodies have acclimated to it and no longer register coffee as a "stressor."
Caffeine is metabolized by a liver enzyme encoded by the CYP1A2 gene. If you have the CC variant of CYP1A2, you are a slow caffeine metabolizer. If you have the AC variant, you are a moderate metabolizer. And if you have the AA variant, you are a fast metabolizer of caffeine.
In slow and medium metabolizers, caffeine lasts longer in the blood and has a stronger effect. They're the ones who get cracked out after a half cup of coffee, or can't have caffeine after noon if they want to sleep that night. Fast metabolizers are the opposite. They process caffeine very efficiently, and it affects them less. These are the types who can have a quad espresso before bed and sleep like babies.
Is stronger, longer caffeine a good thing?
Caffeine isn't an upper in the classical sense. Instead, caffeine acts by mimicking a compound called adenosine and binding to its receptors before the real thing can. Adenosine is a byproduct of neuronal activity. The more active your brain is, the more adenosine it produces. When adenosine levels get high enough, they bind to adenosine receptors and trigger sleepiness. By blocking adenosine, caffeine counters sleepiness and increases cognitive function, but it also inhibits another, more helpful effect of adenosine: vasodilation, or widening of blood vessels.
Consequently, slow caffeine metabolizers who drink a lot of coffee appear to have higher rates of diseases linked to poor vasodilation:
These aren't good. Research shows that slow metabolizers can get away with about a cup or two of coffee a day, but not 3+.
Women taking hormonal contraceptives also have reduced caffeine metabolism.
Nicotine increases caffeine metabolism, so smokers, snuff-users, and nootropic fans exploring the cognitive effects of isolated nicotine can handle more coffee.
How to do it right.
I won't debate the various brewing techniques. No one way is best, and everyone has their favorite method. But a new method that's been taking the world by storm is cold brew. Try 12 ounces of coarsely-ground light roast beans (one of the "third wave" single origin fancy types featuring "laced with toasted cacao nibs" and "ribbons of nougat and hints of boysenberry" on the label) to 60 ounces of filtered water with a few splashes of Trace Mineral Drops. Sit at room temperature for at least 12 hours and filter through a French press. The result is an intense coffee concentrate, sort of a "cold espresso." You can drink it straight up in small amounts with a dash of cream. But personally, if it's colder out, I'm still a sucker for my dark roast brewed in a French press with a bit of pastured heavy cream and a teaspoon of sugar.
Cortisol follows a circadian pattern. Right before you wake up, cortisol spikes to prepare you for the day. Right after you wake up, it spikes again, pushing you to the highest levels of the day. Drinking coffee when cortisol is high is somewhat redundant. Since you're getting less of an effect from the coffee, you're more likely to double up the dosage and therefore spike your tolerance. A better way is to wait about an hour after you wake up to have your first cup.
This seems counterintuitive, but bear with me.
Coffee works much better when you're well-rested and those adenosine receptors are clean as a whistle. That's when coffee truly shines. Rather than waking you up, it propels you forward to productivity, optimism, and greatness.
Coffee does help counter fatigue and sleep deprivation in a pinch, but it's more of an equalizer than a booster. And it's not a good long-term solution for lack of sleep. Nothing is, really, except more sleep.
Studies show that coffee processing destroys the vast majority of coffee pesticides. In one extremely reassuring study, washing the green coffee beans eliminated 15-58% of pesticides and roasting eliminated up to 99.8%. By the time they got around to brewing, none of the 12 studied pesticides were detectable.
Some people under certain contexts, or with certain genetic variants, shouldn't drink as much coffee as the rest of us. And you probably shouldn't drink coffee at night, or count on it to replace sleep. But all in all, coffee has some very cool effects.
It's great for training.
It's good for productivity and mood.
It contains a whopping dose of antioxidants.
It's consistently associated with protection against a host of diseases and conditions.
Drink up!
What do you think, folks? Do you drink coffee? Is it nectar from the gods or bile from the underworld? Maybe both, depending on the day?

160 Comments on "The Definitive Guide to Coffee"
Can't think of a better article to read while drinking coffee!
Hey, coffee (genus Coffea) is not a legume–the term "coffee bean" is a misnomer. Its a member of the coffee family, Rubiaceae. Legume refers to the Fabaceae. Just a heads up since this is a definitive guide. Cheers!
Wow dayve, there is an old Louis C.K. you need to hear…….just sayin.
Isn't coffee the opposite of primal? It seems quite labor intensive (cultuvating, harvesting, roasting, boiling, etc.) That sounds more like raising wheat than hunting / gathering.
I'm drinking coffee as I read this also. Just give me the coffee and no one will get hurt
Oh goody this one sounds interesting! Haven't even read it yet. I think I'm getting my bottle of coffee I don't really need at the moment out of my bag for this one just because.
I enjoy these "definitive guides". There's so many on varying topics that I'm wondering when Mark's going to put out The Definitive Guide to Life and/or Everything.
I think you are overthinking this. Paralysis (or angst) by over analysis.
Just enjoy your real foods.
Does the heat of the coffee make any significant changes to milk or cream if you add that? Also thanks for the article, just in time since I just started drinking coffee recently.
I wondered if the heat can ruin the healthy stuff in honey when you add it to coffee. Pasteurization is supposed to make honey unhealthy by destroying organic chemicals and essentially rendering it pure fructose.
Idk about that. The issue is mostly that the raw bio active compounds will be killed by heat. It's advised to wait a couple minutes before adding the honey. Less heat is less probiotics, so try to balance it.
Yes, heat does make the honey toxic. Don't add honey in anything that is above 40 degrees C!
Oh, for Pete's sake! Heat does not make honey "toxic." It doesn't and won't kill you or make you sick. Now, if you have concerns about some of the components being neutered, so to speak, fine. But please don't throw out the word "toxic" if you don't know what it means.
Not likely. Coffee isn't really all that hot. Probably about 160 F by the time you get to drinking it.
I've quit and restarted coffee plenty of times because I don't like thinking anything can cause dependency in me. No big deal. A headache or two for a couple days after quitting and then it's smooth sailing from there. The withdrawal symptoms are really child's play. Come on, buck up and take the headache for a couple days (maybe 3 or 4). After a month off and coming back to drinking coffee…heaven!
I drink six to twelve cups a day.
On the rare days I don't have coffee, I don't feel a thing, nor have cravings.
And even if people do, so what? It's their choice.
We must have similar genetics. I don't get withdrawal symptoms from coffee either. Or if I do (once per year, if that), it's during a time of poor diet, or high stress.
Maybe it has to do with how quickly or slowly you metabolize coffee? Mark mentioned the three types. I would think the fast metabolizers would be less dependent. Just guessing, but that may have something to do with it.
I had to go off caffeine (after being pretty much a life long caffeine drinker) for a surgery. I started weaning myself off…just cut back a little each day…did NOT go cold turkey! Perhaps this approach would work for your mother. I was just a little bit headachey, nothing I couldn't handle. Once I got clean, I had no cravings for caffeine at all. I maybe have a coffee once a week now, in a medicinal fashion. Best wishes to you and your mom!
I love my morning coffee! Not necessarily for the caffeine boost, but I love the taste (of good coffee). That's an interesting point you made about waiting an hour or so after waking up to drink coffee. I typically have it 20 mins after waking up because I like to drink it when I get ready for work, but the times were I waited I noticed that I woke up just fine. I'll have to invest in a travel mug so I can enjoy my coffee on the train!
I'm going to ignore the part about waiting an hour after I wake up to have my first cup.
As a responsible, moderate-minded coffee aficionado (hehe) I usually limit myself to a few cups a day.
My cups are approximately the size of a pot.
Oh @Animanarchy I just got a good chuckle from your "my cups are approximately the size of a pot" comment. I needed a good laugh today.
I found out that lighter coffee has more caffeine… Go figure. My dark roast has the least caffeine but the strongest taste. Thought that was really odd and counterintuitive, but apparently roasting the beans longer removes caffeine.
Thank you for this all-in-one article on coffee! I'm going my 2nd cup now!
I must be a slow metabolizer. I stopped drinking coffee about 10 years ago because it was causing GI tract problems and poor quality sleep. I switched to a low-caffeine green tea, which doesn't seem to have any adverse effects.
Love my coffee, but I must be a "slow metabolizer" of caffeine-1cup gives me a pretty large spike in blood pressure, and any coffee or tea (even green) after 1:00pm can keep me awake all night, literally.
I learned a long time ago that I function best with maybe 1 cup of regular, and then maybe 1 or two at most of decaf a day.
Great post, always like to learn more about the beverage I have come to enjoy so much.
In a previous post, I believe it was a "Dear Mark," you mentioned that coffee could temporarily increase insulin resistance, which makes that fact that many on a SAD diet pair coffee with a pasty especially bad.. Is it coffee specifically, or caffeine that triggers insulin resistance?
Nice article, going right now to the new expresso machine installed at work. Be right back
Make sure you use the espresso machine. The expresso is just a faster cup of regular.
No no this machine is especial, out of this world.
There are rumors that it costs $10000. but it is leased. It makes expresso, regular , latte, mocha and some other more, adds milk, also makes chocolate to boot!
And when you make the expresso in the touchscreen (!) you can choose two or three beans in the display for an extra boost.
Now I have to go again to the machine for a double expresso!
Mark, I have a few questions because I've been waiting for a definitive guide to coffee. First, about the cortisol, I was wondering if supplementing l-theanine would reduce the negative stress inducing effects the caffeine has similar to how a cup of green tea acts? Second, I've read from many different sites that pre-ground coffee has a substantial reduced amount of antioxidants compared to freshly ground beans. Also, thanks for the info on inorganic coffee. I had a friend tell me only buy organic because of the pesticide residue content.
@tom LI I agree with the good earth practice. I just shared this and the organic study with my brother. While it's possible we don't need to buy organic for the health benefits, I do prefer to buy locally roasted beans who buy from small, more earth friendly farms.
Oppressed trade coffee beans that are force fed to caged civets… K cup only…
From reading your posts for several years, would it be a stretch to think you might be live streaming Mises university at this moment?
The idea is not a stretch. There are a few speakers I'd like to hear. Cannot stream at work, so an archive or future audio only mp3 is how I will do it.
As a Mormon, coffee is discouraged. I take a caffeine pill daily (200 mg) and brew cacao in a French press (like Crio Bru or King Koko) instead. Am I missing out on any polyphenols or other benefits?
It is the caffeine in the coffee which makes it undesirable, due to its ability to addict.
So you might as well drink coffee if you're taking caffeine in a pill.
If drinking coffe is discouraged why is the pill ok?
Living only the "letter of the law" isn't going to win you any brownie points at the pearly gates…
This is a great summary, thanks! Mark, I would love to know your thoughts on mold in coffee. It sure if that is something worth worrying about.
I get addicted having one cup. If I don't have it the next day, I get a sometimes debilitating headache and feel nauseous. There's nothing I can do but go to sleep. I wake up the next day just fine. I have IBS and sometimes my colon is irritated by coffee. But I'm a teacher! Coffee lifts me up so that I can "perform" everyday in front of my students and maintain a certain level of expressive energy to keep them engaged. It's so hard without it! Love/hate for me.
Yes, I definitely would like to hear more about the MOLD issue. And any links to the effect of coffee on inflammatory markers? Thanks.
Coffee also has an asthma medicine in it called Theophylline. I have mild unmedicated asthma and when I couldn't get to sleep due to coughing, I brewed some coffee and soon I was sleeping like a baby. Weird, but it worked for me.
Americans consume 400 million cups of coffee per day– not per year!!!!
Obviously we are coffee nuts! (or beans)
I grind organic beans and then mix the coffee 1/2 and 1/2 with fresh ground chicory. No headaches if I miss a day. I also add raw cream and or real butter, blend a bit and yummy!
I just looked at my 23andme and there are 40 CYP1A2 genes.. Four of them have "A or C" variants. Which Marker (SNP) do I look at for coffee metabolism? The four SNPs are:
From Chris Kresser's Dec. 16, 2015 blog post: If you've done 23andme, log in, go to "My account," select "Browse raw data," and type "CYP1A2" into the "Jump to a gene" search box. Once on the search results page, find the rs762551 SNP. In the far right column, it will give your variant of that SNP. If you are AA, you're a fast metabolizer. If you are AC or CC, you're a slow metabolizer (with CC being slower than AC).
Thanks, Lynn!
I ran my raw data from 23andMe through Promethease (fantastic site – costs $5 and they give you a lot of detail – although, if you freak out easily it might not be a good idea, but it's great for information nerds…lol), and it uses the rs762551 marker/SNP to determine caffeine metabolizer status. Hope that helps!
I've used the same sites as you and I've learned (and experienced) that 1 cup a day for me is all I can handle, or a cup of decaf in early afternoon, but that 1 cup in the morning is soooo delicious.
I'm bummed that Mark says "don't worry about organic" when it comes to coffee. Let's remember that actual people grow this coffee. Pesticides harm these people, and the planet. Pesticides harm the roasters that roast the coffee that comes to you. When we choose organic, small farmer grown coffee, it's not only better for the farmers, economically and physically, but you can find good coffee for under $9/pound in many places.
Part of Grokking for me means supporting clean supply chains, nit just the end product that goes in my mouth.
I concur!!
The world is overpopulated and will not be able to sustain our species for much longer. So using simple logic. We can conclude that people dying from pesticides is not necessarily a bad thing; dare I say it's a good thing. If you dont like this fact, then sacrifice one of your parasites, I meen kids.
I love coffee, yes I do. Could you imagine a world without coffee??
I really enjoyed this post
Amy | http://www.yankified.com
Here I thought I was daft for wanting my coffee a couple hours after I'm up. And having the metabolism part explains why one cup a day works just fine. Never after 3 00 pm and sleep is fine.
Really good synopsis. …..thanks
I've noticed a much faster punch of caffeine from cold brew than from traditionally-brewed coffee. I also prefer it because of the lack of bitterness. What's really great is that it's so easy to make at home – great because most of the stuff I see in stores is $3-4 for a smallish bottle.
The Aerospress (which I vastly prefer to a French press — no sediment!!) makes non-bitter coffee! Yes, it's not as easy as just pushing a button on an electric coffee maker — but I think of it as a morning meditation/'tea' ceremony and include the process as part of the my "ritual."
As soon as I wake up, I have my apple cider vinegar (ACV), cinnamon, cayenne and Himalayan salt and lemon water to convert my body from an acidic base to a alkaline base as cancer cannot exist in an alkaline state. This is 30 minutes before eating. Then I have coffee 1- 2 times a week. I use to drink it daily.
can you give me your recipe for your morning drink thanks
At 65, lost the ability to discern the delicious taste variations of different coffee varieties. Still enjoy the stimulating caffeine effect, and other foods taste as good as ever, but the coffee-sensitive taste buds went suddenly silent. Similar experiences? Theories? Advice?
I agree with River Cook. Buy organic when you can. So many stores carry it. Let go of your old standard coffee and try a new organic type and save lives of people in disadvantaged areas.
Coffee arabica is not a legume at all, but a member of the Madder family (Rubiaceae), like the lovely Gardenia. Nevertheless, I am happily addicted. First, bone broth in the morning, then coffee with cream.
I, personally, don't think coffee is good for health. I do, however, sometimes drink coffee.Just my opinion. I suppose it could depend on the person, a bit.
That's kinda silly, the article references scientific and medical data, not personal opinions.
I suppose the statement was a bit sweeping. How one item affects, is related to so many other factors, but hence why I was vague and not claiming divinity. Being silly is not synonymous worth being wrong. The world was once flat.
with:not worth
Sorry, but the flat earth argument just does not hold water:
I'm super interested in why you believe coffee may not be good for health!!
So, you actually did NOT read Mark's Definitive Guide to Coffee… (or didn't check out the links in it? Or didn't understand it?)
Your sentence "I, personally, don't think coffee is good for health." misused a word: you don't THINK this — you "feel" or "believe" it. You ignore actual science to not merely make a definitive statement, you actually act on it.
Does anyone find that coffee makes them ravenous? Half an hour after a cup of black coffee I need sugar NOW, like a five gallon industrial bucket of frosting or some such. If I want to stay primal, I have to avoid coffee, as much as I love it. Am I alone? I've heard people say that coffee makes one less hungry so it's great for dieting. I can't even imagine that.
I agree with Kathy. I'm having the same experience. If I want to do intermittent fasting I must NOT drink any coffee that morning. Drinking coffee is, for me, like taking that first bite of food. Once I start eating or drinking coffee then I can't stop eating the rest of the day.
I think I might be a "slow metabolizer", super sensitive to caffeine, I only have one cup before 10 am. How would I be able to find this out? Is there a blood test to test for the CC variant of CYP1A2?
I'm not a coffee drinker, but I do have a thing for hot cocoa. Would love to hear how the health benefits of coffee vs. cacao compare! (p.s. my favorite quick & easy hot cocoa drink: mix 1 tsp cacao with a smidge of boiling water, add sweetened almond milk to top of mug, heat up (stove or microwave) then top with cream or butter (or the rare marshmallow). Hooked!! Tastes like Christmas.
Coffee also acts as an iron chelator, which may account for many of the anti-disease functions Mark describes above.
lalalalala I'm not listening!
Yeah, I do worry a bit about some of those things though and some I was not aware of. I figure if you're wired on caffeine a lot of the time there might be some side effects, such as sympathetic nervous system overload.
Everything has pluses and minuses to be sure…. But when the all-cause mortality rate drops for those who drink coffee, it's a pretty spund argument that you are better off drinking than abstaining.
Plus it tastes great and heels me feel good.
Thank you ^^^
Trying to tell coffee drinkers that their magic elixir is harming their health is like trying to discuss the benefits of sobriety in a bar full of drunks.
Those of us who have neurological disorders know that caffeine is toxic
Sorry, but you left part of this sentence off:
"Those of us who have neurological disorders know that caffeine is toxic"
** to US! **
It's … less-than-optimal to write (or believe): "whatever applies to me therefore applies to every human."
If it works in one direction, then it must work in the other direction, so "what does not adversely affect people without neurological disorders, must also not affect people WITH neurological disorders."
That's not true either!
I always marvel at the studies where people are drinking 4+ cups. And 8+ Wow! Really?
I like my coffee, but I can't think of any day ever that I've had more than 2 cups. I just don't want anymore after that.
Good to know I can continue to enjoy it though. It's super hot out lately & I love an iced coffee an hour or two after lunch!
So how do you explain the reduce all-cause mortality rate associated with drinking coffee?
I read one theory that caffeine is not just a pesticide but it revs up activity in pollinators' brains and that makes the location of the caffeine-containing plant they pollinated ingrained more solidly in their memories so they're more likely to go back to it.
I'm not a spider.
Love this post! Very informational. I actually tried NY coffee bulletproof this morning as I'm new to BP and realized i was feeling sick due to the drop in carbs but not enough fat. Not only was it delicious, but I wasn't hungry for HOURS and i had insane energy!!
The info about the pesticides is golden as coffee beans are one of the most highly sprayed crops.
I have my coffee first thing in the morning as the mild laxative is a very good thing. It's much easier to do my workout when I have that light feeling.

Amrozi, Mukhlas and Imam Samudra were due to face a firing squad on Tuesday.
The delay is due to the three men authorising their lawyers to file a last appeal, a spokesman for the attorney general told reporters.
Defence lawyer Achmad Michdan also said the execution would not take place on Tuesday, telling the BBC: "We're definitely going to appeal."
The 12 October 2002 nightclub bombings, in Bali's Kuta tourist district, killed 202 people, 88 of whom were Australian.
More than 30 people have been jailed for the attacks, which have been blamed on the South-East Asian militant group Jemaah Islamiah.
Amrozi, Mukhlas and Imam Samudra have been found guilty of major roles - and all three have already confessed to their involvement.
But I Wayan Pasek Suarta, a spokesman for the attorney general, told the Associated Press on Monday: "We have to respect the rights of the convicts because they have informed us that they want to file a final appeal... so the execution cannot be carried out."
The convicts' lawyers said last month that any appeal would argue that the men had been found guilty on the basis of retroactive legislation.
"The criminal code stipulates that if there is any change in the law, then the law applied should be beneficial to the defendant," defence lawyer Muhammad Mahendradata told the Associated Press in July.
Amrozi, dubbed the "smiling bomber" for his lack of remorse, has been found guilty of helping plan and carry out the attacks.
Mukhlas (also known as Ali Gufron) is seen as the mastermind behind the attacks, while Imam Samudra has been described by police as the "field commander".

"A perfect democracy, a 'warm body' democracy in which every adult may vote and all votes count equally has no internal feedback for self correction. It depends solely on the wisdom and self-restraint of citizens…which is opposed by the folly and lack of self-restraint of other citizens. What is supposed to happen in a democracy is that each sovereign citizen will always vote in the public interest for the safety and welfare of all. But what does happen is that he votes his own self-interest as he sees it…which for the majority translates as 'Bread and Circuses'
"Bread and Circuses is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader–the barbarians enter Rome."

by Mac Slavo, SHTFplan:
Though Wall Street regulators and the mega-banks they purport to regulate have long said that there exists no manipulation in markets and that anyone making claims to the contrary is nothing short of a conspiracy theorist, recent revelations suggest that even the most well known financial institutions on the planet have been actively involved in rigging asset prices. We need look no further for confirmation of this fact than Deutsche Bank, which last year admitted "the precious metals market has been rigged all along" and agreed to pay nearly $100 million in settlements resulting from their direct involvement in the manipulation of gold and silver prices.
Now that the cat is out of the bag and Deutsche Bank has agreed to turn over documents implicating other banks in related schemes, major mining companies are preparing lawsuits of their own. Straight-shooting First Majestic Silver CEO Keith Neumeyer, who in 2015 was the first mining company head to issue a public statement on the manipulation of precious metals prices by a small concentration of players, has said that the company's legal team is closely monitoring the situation
Citing loss of revenue, jobs and shareholder value Neumeyer said in an interview with SGT Report that his company will likely be preparing legal action against the bullion banks involved in the rigging of prices.
I have an intimate knowledge of what goes on on the trading floors… how front running occurs, how wash trading occurs, how spoofing occurs… I've been looking for an opportunity to step in… I've been very vocal… I've talked to many executives that are running other silver companies… When the Deutsche news came out I sent an email to the law firm that's responsible for this lawsuit and I had a conference call with two lawyers… we spoke about this case… I can tell you that a couple of the CEO's of some very prominent silver companies in the States have no interest in pursuing this… Other CEOs have said that they are interested in pursuing this with First Majestic.
We're monitoring this. We're going to follow it. We're likely going to, at some point, add our name to the class action lawsuit.
Watch the full interview detailing Neumeyer's views on global cash bans, what silver prices may do once the manipulation comes to an end, how precious metals will be affected by the incoming Trump administration, current supply and demand fundamentals and an update on his latest projects including Silver One Resources:
Neumeyer and what appears to be a handful of other CEO's in the industry are preparing to declare war on the banks that have been responsible for the price suppression schemes many knew to exist but couldn't prove until now.
The problem was that the fox was left to guard the hen house, which of course led to an inevitable bloodbath:
It's quite shocking to me… It's very harmful to the shareholders…
…It is manipulation and it's used frequently. There's ways that the regulators can monitor it. They can see it happening. The exchanges know when false bids and offers get put into the system… Yet, the exchanges don't step in because the exchanges are owned by the banks… and the banks are doing that kind of trading… It's the self policing system, which doesn't work because no one wants to police themselves because they're all making too much money.
How does Bank of America or JP Morgan not have a losing day year-after-year of trading… it's actually impossible… traders lose money… it happens all the time… yet they have not had a single losing day for at least a couple of years as far as I know.
As Neumeyer correctly highlights, it's impossible for a trader or firm to have such a perfect record, unless of course they are working the system, which certainly appears to be the case based on the evidence.

text: Erin Burnett and Jim Cramer started Tuesday's "Stop Trading!" on CNBC by discussing the newly released FDIC list of 117 financial institutions having problems. Since it's a list of numbers and doesn't mention the names of the banks, Cramer offered his own list of banking institutions that he thinks could follow in the footsteps of IndyMac ( IDMC). The banks he fears are in deep financial trouble are Downey Financial ( DSL), Corus Bankshares ( CORS) and BankUnited Financial ( BKUNA). Each of these banks, he said, "is going to swear up and down that they're in good shape," but he's "just looking at nonperformers" and finding the banks that "look like Indymac." So when they inevitably come after him and say it's his fault, he's going to say, "'Guys, you are fabulous! You're simply fabulous!'" Moving on, Cramer said that "people want to play the hurricane." But he said he thinks it's too risky, because there is a possibility that Huricane Gustav might not hit the Gulf Coast. Instead, he suggests that investors consider buying Halliburton ( HAL) and Nabors Industries ( NBR). If you take a look at what the XTO Energys ( XTO) and the Anadarkos ( APC) are doing, Cramer said, you'll "realize that there is a tremendous amount of oil service business." He said it's difficult to say which is a better stock to own, Halliburton or Nabors, but in the end he thinks they both are Buys.

Holocaust-Denying Bishop's Apology Falls Flat at Vatican
Posted on Feb 27, 2009
The powers that be at the Vatican (at least the earthly variety) are even more upset with Bishop Richard Williamson now that he has apologized. After drawing outrage last month when he claimed that no Jews died in gas chambers during the Holocaust, he made an apology this week. The papacy found it inadequate, to say the least.

.....I should add that the usual argument against the gas chambers is that the external windows and doors were of the normal kind. All this indicates is that there must have been a sealed room inside. Was there? This is the crucial question.
A crucial question indeed. Thanks for asking. It shows you are awake. Of course the answer is no. The revisionist arguments are not silly or trivial. The scrapbookpages.com website has lots of photos and descriptions of the gas chambers at Auschwitz and Majdanek, as well as the shower rooms at Dachau and Mauthausen.

......Anti-Semites are increasingly dingbats of one kind or another. However that doesn't maean that some of the things that they say are not true. As I've said before, present your case.
TD* does not allow me to make a cogent argument in support of Williamson (and Leuchter), that is why I referred you to his youtube statement. You called him an anti-semite and a dingbat without even hearing what he has to say? Perhaps you're more of a Zionist than you think.

..... His younger brother was "shot while trying to flee". Was his deliberate murder any less atrocious than that of Anne Frank?
Anne Frank was not murdered. She died of typhus at Belsen at the end of the war (wiki). She had been transferred from Auschwitz to Belsen in anticipation of the Soviet capture of the camp. Her father was sick when they had arrived at Auschwitz and was not transferred, he was in the Auschwitz camp hospital when the Soviets took the camp and he was released at that time.

I believe in one God, and no more; and I hope for happiness beyond this life.
I believe the equality of man, and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy.
But, lest it should be supposed that I believe many other things in addition to these, I shall, in the progress of this work, declare the things I do not believe, and my reasons for not believing them.
I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.
All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.
I do not mean by this declaration to condemn those who believe otherwise; they have the same right to their belief as I have to mine. But it is necessary to the happiness of man, that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe.
It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. He takes up the trade of a priest for the sake of gain, and, in order to qualify himself for that trade, he begins with a perjury. Can we conceive anything more destructive to morality than this? Thomas Paine

... the good Bishop belongs to the anti-Semitic Mel Gibson wing ...
.... But of course no one has to listen.
... But I would. I'm a sucker for this kind of thing.
You're lying, you're just indulging in the usual Zionist namecalling, which is an effort to stifle discussion. But, you can prove me wrong. Listen to the Bishop's youtube statement, try to understand it (this will take a little effort) and, refute it if you can.

"The catholics, as well as all other christian derivatives, should thank the jews for killing Jesus. After all, without the image of the agonizing death of Jesus, and all the guilt laden mumbo-jumbo that surrounds it, none of us "good christians" would have church to go to on sunday."
there is no historical evidence of what you call "jesus" and the religion you call judaism today has little in common with the practices of the same name at that time.
By paul bass, February 27, 2009 at 6:14 pm Link to this comment
maybe its time to just stop paying attention to the theocratic autocracy known as the catholic church and maybe stop giving them tax free land around the world and maybe we should have them apologize for raping children in there care.
besides about half of active nazis where confessing Catholics so they fully aware of what really happened.

According to the article, "Outraged religious groups said Williamson had not retracted claims that no Jews perished in the gas chambers."
Williamson's statement, which can be seen on youtube, on why he believes that there are no gas chambers is precise and well thought out. He says that the gas chamber shown to visitors at Auschwitz has an unsealed wooden door. He argues that for that reason the room could not have been used as a gas chamber. The argument is convincing to me. Williamson also cites the research of Fred Leuchter. Leuchter looked for cyanide residues that would have been present had the room been used as a gas chamber, and found none. This argument also is convincing to me.

After backing off his commitment from Indiana a few weeks ago, the 6-foot-2, 170-pound combo guard has opted to make some decisions regarding his recruitment and his classification.
According to three independent sources, Carlino, who starred at Bloomington (Ind.) South this past season, will commit to UCLA. It's being approaching by all parties that Carlino will be available for the Bruins next season.
Last week Carlino visited Florida, but after gaining a commitment from Mike Rosario and the expected commitment of Scottie Wilbekin, the Gators opted to go in a different direction.
Carlino, a four-star prospect, averaged 13.3 points and just over four assists per game during his junior season.
Carlino is now the fourth member of UCLA's 2010 recruiting class. He joins five-star prospect Josh Smith, four-star standout Tyler Lamb and JUCO prosepct Lazeric Jones

Oakworth DK in Cottage Originals 0603172208
Hand dyed pure New Zealand Polwarth wool. This is a Cottage Original which is a limited edition and so may or may not be repeated!
Polwarth is a breed of sheep with a long, soft, fine fleece, which is the result of cross breeding merino with Lincoln sheep (developed in Australia during 1880). This yarn is a nice firm, crisp, bouncy yarn, which has great stitch definition and is next-to-skin soft.
100% superwash Polwarth
3.5 - 4.5mm needles
Machine washable on a gentle cycle
Lay flat to dry
As with all hand dyed yarns, I would recommend that you use two skeins at a time, alternating from each one every couple of rows/rounds (unless it's a one-skein project).

I'm interested in learning about this stew. From this link ...
"Brought by the Spaniards and adapted to suit the tastes and ingredients found in different regions ... Named for the clay stewpot in which it was traditionally cooked, puchero has found a home in nearly every country in South and Central America, as well as the Philippines and Canary Islands."
I saw this dish at a Yucatecan restaurant. The link above has various regional recipes. Does the version from the Yucatan always have three meats?
What should I look for in a good version. Any special eating instructions ... like adding sauce or condiments? My understanding it is served with a relish called salpicon.
I have never heard of this before and there are only 9 brief mentions on Chowhound. I would also be interested in various versions from different countries.
Filipino version
Canary Islands version
Spanish version
Uruguayan version

DETROIT (AP) General Motors (GM) said Friday it has agreed to edit a Super Bowl commercial that drew criticism from a suicide prevention group for showing a quality-obsessed robot jumping off a bridge in a dream sequence after messing up on the job.
The world's largest automaker previously said it had no plans to change the spot, which is making the rounds online and is featured on the company's website. The ad made its broadcast debut during Sunday's Super Bowl telecast.
VIDEO: See and rate all the Super Bowl ads
But GM spokesman John McDonald said the company agreed to change the ad after discussing concerns about it with the New York-based American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
The ad is expected to air again after the changes are made, but a date hasn't been set, McDonald said. He declined to describe what would be changed.
Robert Gebbia, the foundation's executive director, said any reference to suicide is expected to be removed. He said the agreement came after the foundation spoke with GM executives Friday morning about its concerns.
"GM is being very responsive," Gebbia said.
EARLIER: GM says it won't change ads
The ad, called "Robot," opens with the machine in question dropping a screw while working on a GM assembly line. The robot is kicked out of the plant and finds work waving a "Condos for Sale" sign and holding up a speaker at a fast-food joint, while appearing saddened by watching shiny, new GM vehicles drive by.
As the Eric Carmen song All By Myself plays in the background, the despondent robot leaps off a bridge into the water below, only to wake up inside the darkened factory — waking up from its dream.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention said it started getting complaints the day after the ad aired.
GM says the robot ad was designed to show the company's obsession with quality, highlighting its enhanced powertrain warranty of five years or 100,000 miles on all new light-duty vehicles starting with 2007 models.

Reforming Marijuana Laws
Marijuana prohibition is an utter failure. Public opinion has shifted in favor of reforming federal and state marijuana laws. It's not hard to see why.
- Prohibitionist laws waste billions of dollars criminalizing marijuana users, even for low-level offenses.
- Black people and Latinos are disproportionately arrested for marijuana even though white people use marijuana at similar rates.
- Prohibition fosters an illegal marijuana market that benefits organized crime, drug cartels and gangs.
- Extremely ill patients are unable to access beneficial medical marijuana treatment.
Legalizing marijuana would allow law enforcement agencies to focus on real crime and bring in new sources of tax revenue.
Key Marijuana Issues
Legalization and Regulation
Learn about current marijuana laws and ongoing efforts to legalize and regulate it for adults.
Medical Marijuana
See where medical marijuana is available and how advocates are working to ensure access for patients.
How did marijuana become illegal in the first place? Learn about the racist origins of marijuana laws and how cannabis went from common medicine to demonized drug.
Our Commitment to Legalizing Marijuana for Adults
The Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) is a leader in the movement to legalize and regulate marijuana.
Our priorities
- The elimination of criminal penalties for the adult use and personal cultivation of marijuana
- The creation of a legal regulatory market for the responsible production and distribution of marijuana to adults
- The establishment of laws that provide and protect access to medical marijuana
DPA works to reduce marijuana-related arrests and associated penalties by drafting and promoting state and federal marijuana laws. We also manage state-based ballot initiative campaigns and provide resources and expertise to patients, activists, journalists, litigators, and elected officials.
Our work
- DPA was involved financially and conceptually in each of the campaigns to legalize and regulate marijuana on the state level starting with Prop 19 in California in 2010. This paved the way for the 2012 victories in Washington and Colorado and the 2014 victories in Alaska, Oregon, and Washington, D.C.
- DPA played a primary role in the passage of medical marijuana laws in nine states, starting with California's Proposition 215 in 1996.
- DPA advised governments at the highest level in Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia on reforming their drug policies and advised Uruguay when they became the first country to legalize marijuana.

Southampton, June 22: After announcing his retirement from Tests earlier this year, England middle-order batsman Paul Collingwood, couldn't even find a place in the England Twenty20 and one-day squads for the upcoming fixtures against Sri Lanka.
On his return home after England's 10-wicket quarter-final trouncing by Sri Lanka, the 35-year-old Collingwood was stripped of the Twenty20 captaincy. This despite the fact that he led the side to the World Twenty20 title in the West Indies in 2010. He is to be replaced by first-time captain Stuart Broad.
The former England one-day captain only recently made a come-back in county action with Durham following a knee injury.
"Paul Collingwood has been an inspirational limited-overs cricketer for England over many years, and we still see a role for him in this capacity based on form and fitness," England national selector Geoff Miller said.
"His omission is purely down to form over a period of time.
"He has always brought a great deal to the England team, and we know he'll be working as hard as ever to reach peak form and fitness - with an England recall firmly in the forefront of his mind."
Meanwhile, wicketkeeper Craig Kieswetter and all-rounder Samit Patel won recalls to both squads.

The continuity of D Subbarao at the helm of the RBI comes at a time when the government and the central bank are gearing up to meet the challenge posed by downgrade of the US sovereign rating and the economic crisis in several Eurozone nations
New Delhi: Ending months of suspense, prime minister Manmohan Singh today gave a two-year extension to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor D Subbarao beyond September, reports PTI.
"The Prime Minister approved the extension to D Subbarao, governor of RBI, for two years," a PMO spokesman said.
The extension will be with effect from 5th September this year till 4th September 2013.
The 61-year-old IAS officer and veteran finance ministry official was appointed the 22nd governor of the central bank in September 2008, for a three-year term.
Interestingly, the announcement of his extension comes just two days before his birthday.
The continuity of Mr Subbarao at the helm of the RBI assumes significance as it comes at a time when the government and the central bank are gearing up to meet the challenge posed by downgrade of the US sovereign rating and the economic crisis in several Eurozone nations.
Mr Subbarao, who has headed RBI since 2008, steered the country through the economic crisis. He is credited with taking a tough monetary stance to check inflation.
Under his governorship, the RBI recently doubled the frequency of monetary policy reviews from every quarter to eight times a year with a view to decrease the need for off-cycle rate moves.
Mr Subbarao had earlier served under Manmohan Singh in the finance ministry as a senior official in the early 1990s, when the latter was finance minister. Prior to this appointment, he was the country's finance secretary.
"They have a history of being more right than wrong about the market's direction," says this analyst.
