WAY OT/ Coffee?

To make good coffee, you MUST have good water. I mostly use softened water. When I can, during a rain shower, I collect rain water. This the best for good coffee. A water purifier on your kitchen tap will give good water also and is how the good restaurants process their water. Next, be sure you have a clean pot. I also add just a sprinkle of salt to the grounds to take out the bitter taste. My preferred coffee is Folger's Breakfast Blend... Gene

The best advice I received on using any product, is to look at YOUR past familys medical history. They will be the best guide for younger generations.

There's many people who can not take a abundance of a certian substance and die, then there's people can over use the same substance and never have any bad effects.

Strokes ran in my moms side of the family. My mother(60yo) died of a stroke just like her father(30yo). I take 1 asprin/day to keep from following in the same foot steps. I also have suggested that to my childeren when they get in the 50's age bracket. No cancer in the family.

My take on the so called experts in the field: There wrong 100% of the time. I'd rather take experience from ideas from long ago that's proven to work over time.

In the 70's bacon and coffee were screamed killers by the experts. Now coffee is rated tops for preventing heart disease. Bacon does something else benefical to health (colon?).

A friends grandson took too much vitamin C (health kick he said) and pert near killed himeself. It took several weeks in the hospital to save him.

The best written advice comes from the Holy Bible as it explains of what to eat and what not. I'm not talking the so called religious aspect part of substaning from some foods, but located in the book of Levicicus(sp?). Why? The book was written over 2thousand years ago so there's long time experience to gain knowledge from. Couple that along with your family's past history and I figure I can't go wrong.

If I recall, I think a lot of them had to do with preventing various cancers due to high antioxidant content and organic chemicals that bind with toxins and make them less available to be taken up into your body.

Do an internet search, I'll bet you can find a web site easily that gives pro's and con's.

BTW I like my coffee black, strong and rich. Give me a large Starbucks and I am good for the day. (though I usually brew my own because I don'e want to spend $2 + a day on coffee).
