Conventional coffee is among the most heavily chemically treated foods in the world.
It’s steeped in synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides.
Coffee grows best in the shade - but it’s not easy to mass-grow coffee in dense, lush forests. So conventional coffee growers plow down and flatten giant fields to grow their chemically-loaded crops.
One research study found, “practically all [coffee] samples (91.7%) were contaminated with molds.”
But, as Johns Hopkins reports, there are significant health benefits to drinking coffee - up to 5 cups per day.
So what do you do?
Look for organic non-GMO, pesticide-free, low-acid which means it’s easy on your stomach! Wake up girl!
