Those who drink/ingest coffee, sugar, diet sweeteners, soy and anything not certified organic are eating or drinking genetically modified foods and beverages. Foods and beverages with genetic engineering or genetic modification came onto the market in 1996. They are created when a bacterium has been shot into the DNA of the seed of a particular crop. Every cell in that DNA has been altered with the foreign organism. This is not something that God, nor Nature would ever create and gives traits to the new and patented seed that are not healthy to mankind or the planet. Generally, it makes the seeds drink toxic herbicides without dying.
Constant sprayed with petrochemically made herbicides poisons tapped waters (be they bottled or coming from your own tap), foods/plants now contain new toxins, which they had not previously. These can cause new allergies, new diseases and cancers, and they have not been tested for health safety or protection to the environment. They are manufactured by corporations that gave the world DDT, PCBs, Agent Orange, and other persistent organic compounds. There is no proof that these genetically modified organisms and new genetically modified seeds are safe. 95% of all soy is genetically engineered to become herbicide tolerant, that is drink herbicides, such as Roundup. But, soy is not the only one. Sugar beets (sugar on labels) are also genetically engineered to drink Roundup and other herbicides.
Currently, some rice, soy, corn, cotton, canola, sugar beets, and increasingly more alfalfa/hay has been genetically engineered. Corn and cotton is genetically engineered with the Bt soil pathogen that is ingested by the insect, which is ingested by animals and people, and may make your living flora a pesticide factory. Eating only genetically modified corn and cotton have rendered livestock sterile, or killed them outright. Soy, corn, cotton, and canola are in vegetable oils, and soy and corn are fed to conventional livestock.
There is no longer any proof that these foods are safe to eat...one is playing Genetic Roulette with your health by consuming these once safe foods. More information available at the Institute for Responsible Technology.

I drink 16 ounces of plain water. Breakfast is generally oatmeal with fresh, organic berries and yogurt and am good to go until noon or 1 p.m. I have a Multi-Pure 750SB water filter, which makes our water taste so much better. This may be upgraded to RO as soon as I have the money.

I used to be a 10 cup a day coffee drinker with 3 tsps of sugar in each, times that by 10 is 30 tsps of sugar a day. My poor liver. Not only that, but I never drank water. I loved my juices and figured I got my water from that. After I gave myself a major heart to heart talk, I now only have 3 coffees a day with 1 tsp. of sugar and drink 4 glasses of water a day with a half a squeezed lemon. My liver isn't working so hard nowadays.

I drink coffee. About 3 cups every morning and quit by lunch time because any caffeine after noon really disrupts my sleep. I wouldn't mind to make the gradual switch to decaf. Can't quit cold turkey because of headaches. Do you still get all the benefits (minus the energy boost) if you drink decaf?

Although I do drink coffee with my breakfast, I actually start my day by first rehydrating with a big glass of hot water (filtered) with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

I tend to have my first coffee of the day roughly 2 or 3 hours after I take my breakfast. With breakfast, I like to have organic white tea, plain. I also drink 1/2 cup almond milk + 1/2 cup water -- not as salty this way but still tasty. plus food...

I drink soymilk.
bob - 13 years ago
I brew one scoop (1/2 oz) 0f dark grounds and 'recycle' them thruout the day. After three or four days, I renew the filter and begin again. I read somewhere that darker roast coffees have a lower caffeine content. Is this so? If so, I get my daily coffee flavor without ingesting a lot of caffeine. Any comments/opinions?

I have ONE bottle of Diet Coke, I like my jumpstart of caffeine COLD!

I think if you took this survey out into the greater public, we'd see very different results. A large percentage from the green tea section would move up into the coffee zone.

I drink Arizona Green Tea sweetened with honey. Does that count as healthy?
