All right, I've known about this for a while, but I was doing some more research and found out that

more than half of coffee sold and produced contains mold, which of course can lead to health

issues like food poisoning, immune system problems, and even sometimes cancer. Coffee actually has

many health benefits, so I don't want to discard that,

but there has been talk of potentially harmful chemicals called mycotoxins in coffee.

And there's been claim that a lot of coffee on the market contains these toxins, increasing

risk for several diseases. So what are mycotoxins? Well,

mycotoxins are, as the name suggests, toxins formed by molds, tiny fungi that may grow on

coffee bean crops and these toxins can cause poisoning when you ingest too much of them.

And if you're one to have a cup of Joe

every day or even multiple times a day, that's a lot of consumption and accumulation of these

toxic molds. Many different types of mycotoxins exist, but the ones most relevant to coffee

crops are aflatoxin B1 and acrotoxin A.

Athlatoxin B1 is a known carcinogen and has been shown to have various harmful effects.

Acrotoxin A has been less study, but according to a study cited in the NIH, it's still believed to be a weak carcinogen

that may even be harmful to your kidneys. This is why it's so important to buy not only organic

coffee, but coffee tested for toxic mold to ensure you are drinking a clean cup that won't be

adding to or even causing any health

issues. Coffee can have many benefits. Just be sure you're getting them from a clean source like

Equip Foods clean coffee. I have been a loyal consumer of Equip foods products for a while. So when I found out

they were finally coming out with a coffee that is not only organic, but mold-free and tested

for mycotoxins, I was ecstatic. They sent me some early to try for myself and I fell in love
