„[quote="CoffeeLover"]According to [url=http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=97&ncid=751&e=11&u=/hsn/20031021/hl_hsn/coffeemayprotectagainstcoloncancer][u]this article[/u][/url] it states that [b]Coffee May Protect Against Colon Cancer[/b] [quote]German researchers say they've found a highly active compound, called methylpyridinium, in coffee that may prevent colon cancer. In studies with animals, this potent antioxidant compound appears to boost the activity of phase II enzymes, which are believed to protect against colon cancer.[/quote] Well the coffee my grandfather has been drinking -- black, did not protect him against colon cancer, he's all better now and still acting like he's 20 so if it didnt protect against the cancer maybe it gives him his morning perk ;)[/quote]“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„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.“

„Most sustainable coffee is grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides, making it organically sound as well. Care is also given to maintaining the integrity of the ground cover on the coffee plantations as well as protecting any nearby rivers which might interact with the liquid by-products of coffee processing. Sustainable coffee growers are also keenly concerned with the issue of deforestation, as many of these growers are in Latin America and in close proximity to rainforests which are clearly at risk.“

„The proposal also would require that all coffee be organic or shade-grown. Organic coffee is grown without pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, many of which are banned in this country. Shade-grown or bird-friendly coffee is grown on traditional coffee plantations under the canopy of forest trees, home to more than 150 species of migratory birds.“
