Lossing weight with coffee. Does it help or hurt?

 
  Is your morning cup of coffee messing with your diet? Your coffee has a only about two calories per cup. That will change, big time if you choose to load up your coffee with sugar and or added cream. Each tablespoon of sugar will add about 16 calories to your coffee, while each tablespoon of cream adds over 50 calories.  Now your cup of coffee will have a calorie count that is a whopping 130 or more calories. While not a weight loss killer, if you are a heavy coffee drinker, the calories will quickly add up. Lattes can be a death nail to a diet.  Only one Latte can have well over as 600 calories. Can we say Big Mac.
 
 Caffeine, the stimulant responsible for the increased alertness in the morning when you drink your morning cup of coffee, can also help you to shed a few calories due to a slight increase in metabolism. But only a hand full of calories though at best. Coffee alone has little effect in your weight loss.

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...
