{VIDEO} 3 Ways To Make Your Coffee Healthier
Remember the Dolly Parton song “9 to 5?” I always thought the lyric “Pour myself a cup of ambition” was a clever phrase. That little kick of courage is just ONE reason people love their coffee. And I've got 3 ways to make your coffee healthier.
In this article:
About 64% of Americans start their day with coffee!
Is Coffee Good for You, or Not?
Two-thirds of Americans are drinking an average of almost two cups a day. And despite heavy marketing by the coffee industry about some benefits, you’re better off relegating it to occasional use rather than daily ritual.1
Coffee is, after all, among the most acid-producing substances you can ingest. Dr. Rashid Buttar, in his best-selling 9 Ways to Keep the Doctor Away, says there are 203 different acids in coffee,2 and acidic environments are the perfect disease climates.3
Non-organic coffee is also highly contaminated with herbicides and pesticide.4 Coffee beans are one of the most-sprayed crops in the world.5
And then lots of folks are further junking up their liquid ambition with awful creamers and sweeteners.6
Herbicides, preservatives, pesticides, oh my! There are a lot of bad chemicals going into the average cup of coffee. Know what's in yours.
You'll learn in my video below that changing creamers is one of the 3 ways to make your coffee healthier.

This is my favorite coffee on Amazon because it's delicious, it's organic, and it has tons of great reviews. Then my favorite liquid stevia, in English Toffee flavor, can be purchased from Amazon as well!
