Red Wine a little helps a lot.

 Moderate alcohol intake—perhaps red wine especially—is associated with health and long life, This appears to be the standing thought from many health experts today.

  Light drinking in general—up to a drink a day for women, and two for men—is known to be good for you. It’s associated with lower risk for coronary artery disease, diabetes, congestive heart failure and stroke. With most experts agreeing that red wine takes the first place. Red wine is clearly the drink of choice if you are doing light to moderate drinking for your health, and daily consumption just before or with the evening meal may be the most protective pattern.

 So this brings us to the next question. Are all Red wines equal in their health benefits or does a top of the line Red wine have more of what your looking for over a lower cost Red wine?

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...

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.
