Now that I realize that just about everything we've been told all our lives by the media, especially about health, is probably propaganda to promote products, I find myself hoping that the publicized benefits of coffee and chocolate weren't just jive. A quick search on Freespoke, which I just switched to, shows huge amounts of research linking coffee to being a deterrent to covid. I'm hoping that's true. Being a purist and a perfectionist
The problem with chocolate is that no one eats just chocolate. They add lots and lots of sugar and fats to make it palatable. So, yeah, it's just jive unless you are eating dark cocoa powder. Eew! All things in moderation.
They've learned more about cholesterol now and found out that foods with cholesterol doesn't translate to adding to your cholesterol. Red meat is a different story. It's the amount we eat and the way we cook it. They recommend it twice a week and in 4 ounce portions, not the 16 ounce steaks people buy in restaurants. IMO butter is always better.
And now they are saying you shouldn't drink it first thing in the morning! What next?
I think they are saying it contributed to global warming
No, it's because it increases your cortisol levels and acts like speed. Eat something first. Has nothing to do with global warming.
Hahahahah, if I was back in highschool I would say, no s*** Sherlock. But Alas I am an adult now.
They say a lot of dumb things and in the past they said smoking was great and amphetamines helped you be a better wife so....

can be a vice too, but not one of mine lol
The coffee needs to be mycotoxin free, then it’s fabulous for you!
Laura, what coffee brand is mycotoxin free?
Trim Health Mama has a coffee that is mycotoxin free.
I use FreeSpoke too; have for quite a while.
Use Google only for things I don’t care the Feds knowing.

Remember when eggs and red meat were bad for you, and margarine was supposed to be a better choice over butter?

I saw that too! They mentioned melatonin levels dropping and cortisol levels rising and to wait 90 minutes....well sheesh, that's not the point!
