I wonder if you know what is in your coffee. Are you sipping pesticides every morning? What you put into your body is just as important to consider as what you choose not to put in.
With increased exposure to chemicals in our world, we have a relative increase in chronic disease. It is important to know where these toxic substances are infiltrating our lives and do our best to eliminate the sources. Unfortunately, one source may be your morning cups of joe.
Conventional vs Organic Coffee
There is a great demand for coffee as it is one of the most popular drinks on the planet. In the push to get it into the hands of consumers, coffee growers have compromised quality. Farming methods have been developed to increase crop yields and profits at the expense of your health and that of the environment.
Conventional coffee is the most heavily sprayed consumable crop in the world, and it is the third most sprayed agricultural crop after cotton and tobacco. Non organic coffee beans are saturated with synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides which have been shown to cause cancer and damage to the reproductive and nervous system. Have some coffee with your pesticides... no thank you! The environment suffers, and consumers and farmers suffer as well. Due to the infiltration of chemicals into the water supply, air and soil, communities surrounding the farms also have to bear the consequences of pervasive toxin exposure. This is a significant problem; fortunately, we can easily do better by choosing to purchase organic coffee.
Organic farming is always the best practice, and when it comes to coffee, it's an easy switch. Organic coffee farms do not use synthetic fertilizers or chemicals in the growing or production process. Organic coffee farms only use organic fertilizers, like coffee pulp, chicken manure, or compost. Not only does the environment benefit since these farms sequester more carbon while emitting less, your health benefits too! When you choose organic you can be sure you are not drinking pesticides with each sip. Instead you are supporting your health with clean Cardiology Coffee.

Organic coffee beans are richer in healthful antioxidants, therefore have more enhanced benefits than their toxic counterpart; you will taste and smell the difference!
Cardiology Coffee is not only organic, it is also tested by a third party to be mold free. Instead of destroying communities, Cardiology Coffee supports women and children as the coffee is grown on a coop run by women, and 5% of all proceeds go to support "Friends of Honduran Children."
