Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Dear Simon, you asked a question. I shall respond as accurately as I can. I shall try to do so, even though, without really knowing me or my circle, you responded to the question you asked about my colleagues. You asked: " How many people do you know that drink coffee from freshly picked/roasted beans? " 1) I don't know anyone who drinks coffee from freshly picked beans. 2) About 10% of the people I know drink coffee --- fairly often -- that was made from beans which were recently roasted. Roughly speaking, I currently try to stay in touch with about 600 people. 3) About 1/4 - 1/2 of the people I regularly associate with --- who drink coffee --- drink coffee from beans that have been roasted recently. Your statement should read that coffee can be harmful to health if the beans are not 'freshly roasted'. Thank you for the capulino link. sounds real good. we shall endeavor to try some, when they get back up. I noticed that since I started using Mmmmmmmssss... the only coffee I want to drink is the freshly roasted kind. I have noticed that what I want to eat is changing. As life attracts life, I am wanting more alive food, and eating it and feeling better. with thanks, again, - Marilyn - At 11:00 AM 10/1/2008 -0400, Simon wrote: >On 10/1/2008, Marilyn Gang (mgang@...) wrote: >> Coffee prepared from coffee beans (seeds) which are freshly roasted and >> then ground and used within about 3 days of the roasting, has significant >> health value.

You made a general comment on list, in response to one of mine... so I'm not sure what 'your circle' has to do with anything... it almost sounds condescending, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Most misunderstandings stem from speaking in generalities (and yes, I fall into this trap myself all the time, so I'm not pointing fingers). You made a general comment that 'Coffee is healthy.' You went on to qualify it a bit, and I simply added more clarification. Another example of speaking in generalities... Both of the following statements are true - as far as they go: 1. Eggs are an extremely unhealthy food, and should be avoided at all costs. 2. Eggs are natures most perfect food, and should be eaten with regularity. > Your statement should read that coffee can be harmful to health if the > beans are not 'freshly roasted'. Nope. How beans were processed prior to roasting can have a huge impact on the quality (or lack) of the coffee, so it is much more than how long ago they were roasted. > Thank you for the capulino link. sounds real good. we shall endeavor to > try some, when they get back up. It is very different tasting... cleaner somehow. I really like it. > I noticed that since I started using Mmmmmmmssss... the only coffee I > want to drink is the freshly roasted kind.
