„Children who consumed high levels of atole, a nutritious food supplement rich in protein and energy, performed much better than those who had low consumption of atole. Low consumption of atole, meanwhile, was better than high consumption of fresco, a lower caloric drink without protein or other nutrients, and of course better than low consumption of fresco.

Indian coffee board- Coffee : CHINAS BURGEONING COFFEE CULTURE
„Most experts believe coffee's penetration in China, currently confined to a few developed coastal regions and consumed by between 0.1% to 0.5% of the population, will increase significantly over the next 5 to 10 years, and domestic and international players are queuing up to take advantage of the expected boom.
