Coffee Chemical Lies - Episode 1030 Apr 04, 2018

Show notes

: Episode 1030 - Andy Schreiber joins Vinnie this Wednesday, and the two debunk the lie around a coffee chemical upon which California is attempting to pass a law. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club COFFEE CHEMICAL California is trying to add a "warning" label to coffee They want to say its a carcinogen Acrylamide is the chemical, and it occurs NATURALLY when the beans are roasted Coconut oil, salted fish, aloe vera ALL have this chemical This is something that happens naturally, so we really shouldn't worry! Coffee stores and companies are going to have to pay per person for this That being said, this does NOT affect Pure Coffee Club - we want to make that clear SERT suing companies such as Starbucks, Yum Yum Donuts, etc. Started from a study done in Sweden on rats Proved carcinogenic increased RISK when rats consumed ONE THOUSAND to TEN THOUSAND as much times acrylamide than anyone would consume from eating healthy foods and drinking coffee There is nothing wrong with the amount of acrylamide in coffee DON'T WORRY Coffee is good for you! Look it up, acrylamide isn't bad -- so long as you aren't injecting your blood with straight acrylamide You'd have to drink 450 16 oz cups of coffee a day for YEARS for the risk to increase at all from this substance
