Is Coffee Bad Or Good For Your Health?
by Dr. Mark Hyman, MD
Every day, we read or hear another story- coffee is bad for us or coffee is good for us.
So what's the latest story?
******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
by Dr. Mark Hyman, MD
Every day, we read or hear another story- coffee is bad for us or coffee is good for us.
So what's the latest story?
- First, coffee is a drug. And using it recreationally is certainly fine, or for the occasional pick me up when you just couldn’t get enough sleep. But there is a dark side of coffee and caffeine.
- It is addictive. It requires you to drink more and more to get the same “high” and eventually is needed just to feel “normal.” Headaches, exhaustion, and other biological signs of withdrawal put it clearly in the camp of addictive drugs.
- It stimulates the release of dopamine, which helps us focus, pay attention, and remember. But it depletes those neurotransmitters over time and loses its effectiveness.
- It stimulates the release of stress hormones including adrenalin and cortisol. This may lead to palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, and even spikes in blood sugar and insulin.
- It increases homocysteine (increasing risk for heart disease, depression, cancer, and dementia) and depletes vitamins and causes mineral loss, including magnesium the relaxation mineral.
- It causes urinary excretion of calcium and contributes to osteoporosis.
- It can cause diarrhea, reflux and heartburn.
- It may interact with common medications such as Tylenol, causing liver damage.
- Coffee increases risk of stillbirths and iron deficiency in mothers and babies.
Dr. Shellie says:
- Headaches, exhaustion and other side effects from too much caffeine does not occur when your coffee is made with Ganoderma Lucidum
- While your coffee requires you to drink more and more to get the same high, coffee made with Ganoderma Lucidum provides you with a steady, even flow of energy all day long without increasing consumption.
- While some caffeine helps you to focus, pay attention, and remember drinking coffee with Ganoderma Lucidum, enables your focus yet, does not deplete neurotransmitters .
- For some people, moderate to excessive coffee consumption stimulates the release of stress hormones, including adrenalin and cortisol, while a healthy person drinking coffee made with Ganoderma Lucidum, there is generally no palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, and does not spike blood sugar and insulin.
- Traditional coffee may increase homocysteine
(increasing risk for heart disease, depression, cancer, and dementia)
and depletes vitamins and causes mineral loss, including magnesium the
relaxation mineral while coffee made with Ganoderma Lucidum supports heart health, stress reduction and supports a healthy brain and nervous system.
- Coffee made with Ganoderma Lucidum strengthens the kidneys and skeletal system
- While traditional coffee can trigger digestive problems like IBS, spastic colon, diarrhea, reflux and heartburn, coffee made with Ganoderma Lucidum supports a healthy intestinal tract.

Is TEA a Better Alternative?
According to the IVillage team of researchers, there are many benefits to switching to Tea:
1. Tea contains antioxidants. Like the Rust-Oleum paint that keeps your outdoor furniture from rusting, tea's antioxidants protect your body from the ravages of aging and the effects of pollution.
2. Tea has less caffeine than coffee. Coffee usually has two to three times the caffeine of tea (unless you're a fan of Morning Thunder, which combines caffeine with mate, an herb that acts like caffeine in our body). An eight-ounce cup of coffee contains around 135 mg caffeine; tea contains only 30 to 40 mg per cup. If drinking coffee gives you the jitters, causes indigestion or headaches or interferes with sleep -- switch to tea.
3. Tea may reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke. Unwanted blood clots formed from cholesterol and blood platelets cause heart attack and stroke. Drinking tea may help keep your arteries smooth and clog-free, the same way a drain keeps your bathroom pipes clear. A 5.6-year study from the Netherlands found a 70 percent lower risk of fatal heart attack in people who drank at least two to three cups of ... tea daily compared to non-tea drinkers.
4. Tea protects your bones. It's not just the milk added to tea that builds strong bones. One study that compared tea drinkers with non-drinkers, found that people who drank tea for 10 or more years had the strongest bones, even after adjusting for age, body weight, exercise, smoking and other risk factors. The authors suggest that this may be the work of tea's many beneficial phytochemicals.
5. Tea gives you a sweet smile. One look at the grimy grin of Austin Powers and you may not think drinking tea is good for your teeth, but think again. It's the sugar added to it that's likely to blame for England's bad dental record. Tea itself actually contains fluoride and tannins that may keep plaque at bay. So add unsweetened tea drinking to your daily dental routine of brushing and flossing for healthier teeth and gums.
6. Tea bolsters your immune defenses. Drinking tea may help your body's immune system fight off infection. When 21 volunteers drank either five cups of tea or coffee each day for four weeks, researchers saw higher immune system activity in the blood of the tea drinkers.
7. Tea protects against cancer. Thank the polyphenols, the antioxidants found in tea, once again for their cancer-fighting effects. While the overall research is inconclusive, there are enough studies that show the potential protective effects of drinking tea to make adding tea to your list of daily beverages.
8. Tea helps keep you hydrated. Caffeinated beverages, including tea, used to be on the list of beverages that didn't contribute to our daily fluid needs. Since caffeine is a diuretic and makes us pee more, the thought was that caffeinated beverages couldn't contribute to our overall fluid requirement. However, recent research has shown that the caffeine really doesn't matter -- tea and other caffeinated beverages definitely contribute to our fluid needs. The only time the caffeine becomes a problem as far as fluid is concerned is when you drink more than five or six cups of a caffeinated beverage at one time.
9. Tea is calorie-free. Tea doesn't have any calories, unless you add sweetener or milk. Consuming even 250 fewer calories per day can result in losing one pound per week. If you're looking for a satisfying, calorie-free beverage, tea is a top choice.
10. Tea increases your metabolism. Lots of people complain about a slow metabolic rate and their inability to lose weight. Green tea has been shown to actually increase metabolic rate so that you can burn 70 to 80 additional calories by drinking just five cups of green tea per day. Over a year's time you could lose eight pounds just by drinking green tea. Of course, taking a 15-minute walk every day will also burn calories.

Got Milk?
Should humans drink cow's milk or are there healthier alternatives?

List of “Ingredients” Added to Cow’s Milk
"Here are just a few of the artificially-engineered components found in the average glass of non-organic pasteurized and homogenized milk on the American dinner table:
Dr. Shellie says:
I suggest if you drink milk purchase organic only or milk from an organic dairy farm, when available.
You can also substitute almond, rice, coconut and hemp milk and derive much calcium from green vegetables.
People that have allergies or frequent colds, feel better when they eliminate all cow's milk from their diets.

Got Milk?
Should humans drink cow's milk or are there healthier alternatives?
(excerpted from an article by Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND ,
Global Healing Center
List of “Ingredients” Added to Cow’s Milk
"Here are just a few of the artificially-engineered components found in the average glass of non-organic pasteurized and homogenized milk on the American dinner table:
- A Veritable Hormone Cocktail: including pituitary, steroid, hypothalamic, and thyroid hormones (remember most cows are extremely stressed)
- Gastrointestinal Peptides:
Nerve and epidermal growth factors, and the growth inhibitors MDGI and MAF - rBGH (Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone): a genetically engineered hormone directly linked to breast, colon and prostrate cancer. This is injected into cows to increase milk production
- Pus: National averages show at least 322 million cell-counts of pus per glass![2] This is well-above the human limit for pus-intake, and has been directly linked to paratuberculosis bacteria, as well as Crohn's Disease.
- Blood Cells: The USDA allows up to 1.5 million white blood cells per milliliter of commonly-sold milk.[3] Yes, you are drinking cows blood in the milk and the USDA allows this!
- Antibiotics: Currently, cows are in such a state of disease and mistreatment that they are continually being injected with antibiotic medicines, and rubbed down with chemical-laden ointments to deal with their chronic infections. Currently, regulating committees only test for 4 of the 85 drugs in dairy cows. This means that the other 81 drugs in cow’s milk are coming directly into your glasses and bodies. Estimates show that 38% of milk in the U.S. is “contaminated with sulfa drugs or other antibiotics,” according to a study by the Centre for Science in the Public Interest and published in the Wall Street Journal on December 29, 1989. A study from the FDA data showed that over half of all milk was laden with traces of pharmaceuticals yet nothing has been done to control this." Global Healing Center
