| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Nutrition Facts Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Michael Greger. |
| 0:05.6 | I'm thrilled that you've decided to join me today because the more I learn about the latest |
| 0:11.6 | in nutrition research, the more convinced I am that this information can make a real difference |
| 0:16.8 | in all our lives. And I like nothing better than sharing it with you. |
| 0:22.4 | Today, back by popular demand, we present the Nutrition Facts Grab Bag with the latest news on |
| 0:28.0 | a whole variety of topics. First up, we help you choose the healthiest coffee and the effects of |

| 1:33.6 | than 30 fold. As a consequence, coffee selection may have a large influence of the potential health |
| 1:39.6 | potential of coffee intake. So all those studies that show that one cup of coffee does this or that, |
| 1:45.7 | I mean, what does that even mean when coffee can vary so greatly? Interestingly, the major contributor |
| 1:52.8 | to the wide range was the coffee purchased from Starbucks, which had an extremely low chlorogenic |
| 1:59.4 | acid content averaging 10 times lower than the others. Maybe it's because they roast their beans |
| 2:05.8 | too dark, the more you roast the less there is. They appear to be partially destroyed by roasting. |
