This writer thinks organic coffee is the best thing going, and has many good reasons for this opinion:

——————————————————————–

Here’s a quick rundown of what organic is, and why it’s better to consume organic coffee.

 1) Synthetic fertilizers can’t be used to raise certified organic foods.

 2) Organic certified products can’t use genetically engineered crops or animals.

 3) Foods labeled 100% organic can only contain certified organic ingredients, except for water and salt.

 4) Foods labeled “organic” must consist of at least 95 percent organically produced ingredients (excluding water and salt).  Any remaining product ingredients must consist of non agricultural ingredients approved on the National List including  non-organically produced agricultural items that are not commercially available in organic form.

 5) The USDA organic logo can be displayed on any 100% organic or “Organic” item.

 6) Food products labeled organic, such as organic coffee, must not be treated with sewage sludge (yes modern crops are), or ionizing radiation.

 What we’ve gone through is just a quick rundown of the USDA organic labeling requirements.  It’s time to talk about my passion, organic coffee.  Considering that coffee usually only contains “coffee”, organic coffee blends are almost certainly 100% organic, if they are only 95% the other 5% of the components must be printed on the product information panel.

 Who cares if your coffee is grown organically?

 1) Regardless of what you feel about traditional farming practices, can anyone imagine slugging down something treated with sewage sludge?

 2) In the US, genetically mangled crops don’t have to be labeled as such, so the only way to know if your coffee was not genetically modified is to purchase certified organic coffee.

 3) For you decaf. drinkers, organic coffee is your best friend.  Regular coffees use nasty substances like methylene chloride and ethyl acetate to decaffeinate the beans.  Certified organic decaffeinated coffees are decaffeinated by a water process.  There is epidemiological evidence to suggest that drinking conventional decaffeinated coffees is associated with an increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis.

 4)  Pesticides are not good for the farmers.   Coffee is grown in primarily poor places in the world, and many farmers are unable to read herbicide and pesticide warning labels, resulting in erroneous preparation of chemicals, and therefore, toxic exposure for them and the environment.

 What we’ve just gone through are just a few points to only drink organic coffee.  It goes way beyond the coffee itself.  A lot of toxins are released in the manufacturing of non-organic chemicals.

 In conclusion, one must take into consideration the complete love and attention that comes from growing coffee organically.  The farmers investigate and baby their crops, resulting in perfectly developed coffee beans.  Whether you think I’m just trying to put forth my agenda, or promote your good health, please give organic coffee a taste and pass the word.

 By now you’re probably wondering, “where can I get this delicious Organic Coffee you speak of?”  We’ll it just so happens that I own Nectar of Life Organic Coffee Company, so click that link and head on over!
