Coffee vs. Decaf Coffee

Coffee vs. Decaf Coffee

Decaffeination is the process through which caffeine content is removed from coffee beans. Decaf coffee has an estimated of 98 percent less caffeine than normal coffee.

Coffee Vs Decaf Coffee – In Terms of Blood Pressure!
It has always been believed that high amounts of caffeine in coffee was the triggering factor behind high blood pressure and increased heart rate. It was alleged that the decaffeination process would eliminate these risks; however, recent research has revealed that people who consume decaf coffee are still vulnerable to these problems. This is most likely to be explained by the fact that caffeine is still present in decaf coffee too.

Coffee Vs Decaf Coffee – Cancer and Organ damage
Coffee has been linked with secretion of gastric acids, in recent studies; it was revealed that decaf coffee contributes to gastric acid more as compared to normal coffee. This is because decaf coffee is made from robusta beans; increased gastric acid can cause diseases such as ulcers. Hence, normal coffee produces lesser gastric acids as compared to decaf coffee.

Coffee Vs Decaf Coffee – Cancer and Organ Damage
The decaffeination process involves use of chemicals, one of this chemical is methylene chloride. This chemical is toxic for the lungs, nervous system, live and central nervous system. Any individual who is exposed to this chemical for a prolonged time can suffer from organ damage and cancer. Since normal coffee does not have any chemicals, it is a much safer option as compared to decaf coffee.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: DHA, EPA, and ALA

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: DHA, EPA, and ALA

Some awesome information I found about Omega-3 fatty acids, as well as a site to check out supplements that have been tested. Which I think is super important, in order to make sure you’re getting supplements that are actually as potent and complete as they should be, as well as free of any toxins.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: DHA, EPA, and ALA
—Paraphrased from “When Nutrients Go Missing”, Matthew Kade, MSc, RD

“Boost your DHA and EPA levels by eating a few servings of fatty fish each week. Pasture-raised meats and eggs are also good sources of omega-3s.

Vegetarians and vegans can nosh on seeds — such as chia, hemp, flax — as well as walnuts. But the type of omega-3 fat in these foods, called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), is not as potent as the longer-chain DHA and EPA forms found in seafood, says Wald.

Because of the critical importance of the omega-3 fats, Wald often nudges his patients toward supplementation. When looking for a fish-oil supplement, be sure to consult a medical expert and sites like ConsumerLab.com, which conducts independent testing of supplements, in order to find a supplement that is free of mercury contamination.”
