Coffee Caffeine Harmful Pesticide Side Effects

March 8, 2009

I have written often about the harmful effects of Caffeine.

Here is one of my Original Blog Posts on Harmful Effects of Caffeine – that is what I wrote when I created my Cravings Coach Blog over 2 years ago.

I have only just learned that caffeine is really the way a plant protects itself from insects…… – did you know that? So the coffee bean protects itself, it is nature’s way of protecting it from being eaten by insects and bugs.

In other words, the caffeine is a natural plant PESTICIDE!

Can you believe it?

We are definitely eating a poison!  A natural poison, but still a poison.

I remember on the beach in Hawaii, when I was working for Dr. Paul Bragg over 30 years ago… he would often talk about how people needed to get off coffee.

It certainly applies more today – with caffeine being in all the Sodas and Diet Sodas, in the Energy Drinks, in the upscale Lattes and coffees that everyone is addicted to!!

I just would encourage you to cut back on your caffeine consumption (and cut it out altogether if you can!).

Here is the way I was able to gain complete freedom from my addiction to 8 cups of coffee a day!  Sunrider Calli Tea came to my rescue 12 years ago!

Hope you are having a healthy and happy weekend, and remember to cut back on your caffeine!

    I didn’t know that caffeine was actually the pesticide, but yes it’s apparently true that many fruit, veg, grains etc we eat can produce natural pesticides while they grow that helps them fight off predators – insects, fungus and weeds. Dr. Ames, a Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of California, Berkeley, and a Senior Scientist at Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) researched this many years ago. http://www.bruceames.org/

    Also a blog entry was written about natural pesticides last year on http://www.pesticideinformation.eu. http://www.pesticideinformation.eu/2008/08/pesticides-a-new-angle-or-why-we-should-oppose-the-eu-proposals-to-ban-pesticides-and-think-again-about-how-we-assess-the-impact-of-chemicals-on-health/

    Hope that helps. Best wishes, Helen
