Bulletproof Coffee

Everyday the world consumes around 3 billion cups of coffee. It takes from beginning to end, 37 gallons of water to produce 1 cup of coffee. Those are just some fun facts. I know I enjoy drinking coffee and you probably do to. Lately, I have been trying Bulletproof Coffee. It was created by Dave Asprey. Lets take a look at what his "superior" coffee has to offer.

Coffee Source:

1. The beans are from Guatemala and grown 1250 meters above sea level. Altitude is an important factor in growing the highest quality beans.
2. It is a Passive Organic farm that is family owned that does not contain any chemicals/pesticides.
3. The beans are hand picked.
4. The beans are mechanically processed after picking using clean cold water, rather than letting them sit in the sun to dry. This is important, because it prevents mold and bacteria from entering the beans, which is common in most coffee beans we consume.
5. The beans are roasted in small batches.

The science behind the coffee:

Dave Asprey has researched coffee for years and says that coffee contains mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are toxic chemical products created by fungi, commonly referred to as mold. The ingestion of mycotoxins can have acute and chronic health effects on humans.

Asprey claims:

1. 52-91.7% of green coffee beans are contaminated with mycotoxins. 50% of brewed coffee are contaminated.
2. Mycotoxins cause cancer, brain damage, hypertension and kidney disease.
3. Coffee is the number one source of antioxidants for Americans and one of the largest sources of mycotoxins. Bulletproof Coffee allows you to receive large quantities of antioxidants, without mycotoxins.
4. Caffeine improves mental performance.
5. Caffeine influences gene expression in a way that protects your brain.
6. Caffeine coffee antioxidants can help prevent Alzheimers.

Grass Fed Butter:
Dave Asprey also recommends you include grass fed butter in your cup of Bulletproof Coffee. The butter makes you feel alert, energized and focused all day. It also helps you lose fat and gain muscle. This is because it contains good cholesterol and fats, from MCT oil.
