Cheers,Beers and Coffee, As a mix to good liver health

Drink a lot of adult beverages? your liver probably hates you. But new science suggests there may be a way to get back on your liver's better side. New research has linked caffeinated coffee consumption to lower risk of liver disease. But they didn't know whether to credit caffeine or coffee for the benefits, and according to that research's results, you'd need to drink at least two cups of coffee per day.
In a new study, researchers from the National Cancer Institute examined the 24-hour dietary recalls of 27,793 adults, then assessed their liver enzyme levels, a common way to test how well the liver functions. People who reported drinking three or more cups of coffee were the most likely to have normal liver enzyme levels — regardless of whether they drank decaf or the strong stuff.

Interestingly, heavy drinkers who also consumed coffee appeared to have healthier livers than heavy drinkers who consumed no coffee.
Researchers say the data suggests that there are ingredients besides caffeine in coffee that may promote liver health, but they'll have to do more research to figure out exactly how everything works before they start to prescribe coffee to lushes.
Ultimately, the best way to protect your liver from alcohol is to lay off it. If that's not happening any time soon, the coffee thing may help.

Weather /climate change and your coffee

Weather unpredictability/climate change is a leading factor in future coffee prices. Making the small coffee grower looking to expand their land used to cultivate coffee. Felling of rain forests will accelerate current trends in a changing climate. adding even more unpredictability to coffee supplies and future prices. With the current world price at 90 cents a pound is making profitability in many countries nearly impossible With production cost at about $1.50 per pound. The shortest answer is to grow more coffee witch takes more land, ,fewer trees, more c02, additional climate effects . Climate change and general weather unpredictability are one of the driving forces in the roller coaster ride coffee prices are having and will likely continue to have in the foreseeable future. Perhaps second only to the never ending political unrest in many coffee growing regions.

Used coffee grounds can help stop global warming.

With the environment in the news lately. Here is one you didn't see coming. Used coffee grounds are very good at storing Methane. Methane is a global warming gas many times more potent that carbon dioxide.With Methane having one advantage over Carbon Dioxide. That is Methane can be used as a fuel. The process to make this work is relative simple with the moist used coffee grounds being heated with potassium hydroxide. So who cares you may be asking yourself. While It's not likely your local power company will be digging around in your trash ben for your used coffee grounds in order to capture and store their Methane emissions. Some smaller producers of Methane emissions may have some interest. Many oil wells also produce small amounts of natural gas. The volume of gas is so small that it's uneconomical to lay the needed pipe in order to place this gas into the natural gas lines that heat your home. So this g...
