Café de Colombia - OUR CAMPAIGN (#)

„For this it created a parallel print campaign featuring Juan Valdez "grabbing life by the beans," or having fun with diverse adventure or extreme sports such as surfing, snowboarding and hang-gliding. This campaign begun running in 1994 and continues to run parallel to the image and logo campaigns to remind younger consumers that drinking Colombian Coffee is a fun experience. The Agency In order to launch its initial advertising campaign back in the late 1950's, the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia hired the New York based agency Doyle Dane Bernbach to create an advertising campaign that would set their product apart. Doyle Dane Bernbach created the character of Juan Valdez ®, to represent the typical coffee grower in Colombia and launched the educational campaign that made Colombian Coffee a household name.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„Coffee has been a medical whipping boy for so long that it may come as a surprise that recent research suggests that drinking moderate amounts of coffee (two to four cups per day) provides a wide range of health benefits. Most of these benefits have been identified through statistical studies that track a large group of subjects over the course of years and match incidence of various diseases with individual habits, like drinking coffee, meanwhile controlling for other variables that may influence that relationship. According to a spate of such recent studies moderate coffee drinking may lower the risk of colon cancer by about 25%, gallstones by 45%, cirrhosis of the liver by 80%, and Parkinson's disease by 50% to as much as 80%. Other benefits include 25% reduction in onset of attacks among asthma sufferers and, at least among a large group of female nurses tracked over many years, fewer suicides.“

„Although human beings metabolize caffeine differently from rats (and other researchers had questioned some of the conditions of the experiments), the United States Food and Drug Administration issued a widely publicized warning about the possible ill effects of caffeine on the fetus. Subsequently, an analysis by Harvard researchers of coffee drinking among 12,000 women early in their pregnancies failed to find a significant link between coffee intake and birth defects. The upshot of the debate? The official position, if there is one, came from a committee of the National Academy of Sciences, which recommended what common sense dictates, what this book recommends, and what coffee lovers through the ages have argued: Pregnant women, according to the NAS committee, should exercise "moderation" in their intake of caffeine.“

„At times in history coffee has been hailed as a medicinal cure-all, and at others condemned as the devil's brew -- in the latter case usually for political or religious reasons, when coffee houses were at their height of popularity as meeting places. However, in the last half-century scientific research has established the facts about coffee, caffeine (responsible for coffee's mild stimulant effect) and our health: in moderation coffee consumption is in no way a health risk, and besides being a most pleasurable experience drinking coffee can indeed confer some health benefits. This CoSIC Web site provides an overview of the published scientific evidence on coffee, caffeine and health.“

„Despite over twenty-five years of intensive study, medical science has yet to prove any definite connection between moderate caffeine or coffee consumption and disease or birth defects. For every study that tentatively suggests a relationship between moderate coffee drinking and some disease, or between moderate coffee drinking during pregnancy and a pattern of birth defects, other studies--usually involving larger test populations or more stringent controls--are published that contradict the earlier, critical studies. It is safe to say that the medical profession is far away from slapping coffee with the kind of warning labels that decorate wine and beer bottles.“

Bone density did not vary by lifetime coffee intake in women who reported drinking at least one glass of milk per day during most of their adult lives. CONCLUSIONS--Lifetime caffeinated coffee intake equivalent to two cups per day is associated with decreased bone density in older women who do not drink milk on a daily basis.“
