Is Organic Coffee Healthy? http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1916/is-organic-coffee-healthy/ Organic coffee is typically made from high grade Arabica coffee beans so it has great taste and aroma. And organic coffee is great for the environment because it requires sustainable agriculture to grow it. But is organic coffee healthy for you? Organic coffee is healthy on two counts. First of all coffee has all sorts of health benefits. And second organic coffee does not have a whole lot of impurities that may be found in regular coffee. First what are the health aspects of coffee? Healthy Organic Coffee It has been six years since we posted an article, Healthy Organic Coffee. Healthy organic coffee contains calcium. It contains antioxidants such as polyphenols which are also called condensed tannins and help prevent tooth decay in addition to their antioxidant activity. The antioxidant properties of a healthy cup of organic coffee include the ability to lessen age associated cellular damage, prevent new blood vessel formation in cancerous tissue, and inhibit the long term inflammation seen in atherosclerosis. Ongoing research points to uses of polyphenols as treatments for specific age related conditions. And all of this from a cup of healthy organic coffee! In that article we mentioned the fact that coffee drinkers have a reduced risk of type II diabetes. Over the years we have added articles reporting reduced risk of cancer, depression, suicide, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and cirrhosis of the liver. Coffee drinkers have a reduced risk of dying at any age compared to their friends who avoid java. And coffee improves exercise performance as well as sex! All of those benefits come from a cup of coffee. But why do you want organic coffee? In the same article years ago we noted the findings of the Australian Food Standards Authority.

In the same article years ago
we noted the findings of the
Australian Food Standards
Authority.

20. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1916/is-
organic-coffee-healthy/
A study by the Australian
Food Standards Authority
revealed that as many as 133
contaminants may be in a
cup of commercially available
coffee.

21. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1916/is-
organic-coffee-healthy/
These contaminants include
metals such as aluminum
and zinc, pesticide residues,
ochratoxin A, acrylamide,
furan, and polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons.

22. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1916/is-
organic-coffee-healthy/
Some polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons are found to
cause cancer.

23. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1916/is-
organic-coffee-healthy/
Furans have been associated
with skin disorders, liver
problems, certain kinds of
cancers, impairment to the
reproductive, endocrine, and
immune system, as well as
effects on embryonic
development.

24. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1916/is-

This is why organic coffee is
healthier for you than regular
coffee.

25. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1916/is-

Organic coffee certification
tells you that your coffee has
been produced, processed
and stored according to a
strict set of standards.

26. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1916/is-
organic-coffee-healthy/
The soil in which organic
coffee is grown must have
been verified as free from
prohibited substances for at
least three years.

27. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1916/is-
organic-coffee-healthy/
In addition there must be
distinct boundaries between
land on which organic coffee
is grown and land where
pesticides, herbicides, and
prohibited chemical fertilizers
are used.

28. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1916/is-
organic-coffee-healthy/
This guarantees that drift of
substances sprayed or
otherwise applied on
adjacent land will not
contaminate the organic plot
of land.

29. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1916/is-
organic-coffee-healthy/
Organic coffee certification
includes the adherence to a
specific and verifiable plan for all
practices and procedures from
planting to crop maintenance, to
harvest, de-husking, bagging,
transport, roasting, packaging,
and final transport.

30. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1916/is-
organic-coffee-healthy/
Along the way procedures must
be in place at every step to insure
that there is no contamination of
the healthy organic coffee
produced in pristine soil with
regular coffee produced on soil
exposed to herbicides, pesticides,
and organic fertilizers.
