Episode Description:
There are 19,000 studies on coffee and health, and most coffee companies don't even run the basic tests. Andrew Salisbury founded Purity Coffee after two professors at Vanderbilt's Institute for Coffee Studies showed him what good coffee actually does for the body. This conversation covers why the mold testing almost nobody runs costs $300, how roasting can destroy the very antioxidants you're drinking coffee for, and why the jitters and acid reflux you blame on coffee may not be the coffee's fault at all.
Andrew's health takes — in order:
Take 1: "The reality is they don't want to get the information"
Testing a container for mold and mycotoxins costs about $300, so when companies skip it, it isn't about the money.
Take 2: "Imagine if there was a pill that could do this"
Coffee is tied to lower risk of fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, dementia and heart disease, and for most Americans it's their single biggest source of antioxidants.
Take 3: "Not all coffee is created equal"
Avoiding pesticides and heavy metals is the low bar. Keeping the antioxidants through the roast is the hard part, and most roasters never measure it.
Take 4: "It's not a reaction to coffee, it's a reaction to poor quality coffee"
The jitters, the acid reflux, the stomach trouble. Andrew's challenge is to drink a clean cup beside your usual brand and see what changes.
Ice baths may be good for you. Coffee is the one you'll actually do every single day.
