Not so much crops, though there's some, but exhaust, brake dust, tire dust, general smog and pollution...How do you make that calculation?
You figure that would be from breathing motor vehicle exhaust and maybe toxins in the air from crops grown in the area and general air pollution?

As a scientist, articles like this bother me.
1) organic products still use fertilizers and pesticides. Organic products are not inherently safer than conventionally grown products that used synthetics
2) how much residue? The dose makes the poison. We've gotten really good at detecting really tiny amounts (ppb). Those tiny amounts often amount to nothing. If you ingest a negligible amount, nothing is going to happen - your liver and kidneys do a fine job filtering. Which brings us to point 3
3) Do they have evidence for their claims for the list of health issues? I'm highly skeptical. Just because it's on an IARC list doesn't mean that the product on the market will give you cancer (anyway, those IARC lists are garbage since they do not include how much you need to be exposed to to see a real increase in risk of getting cancer).
I agree, I refuse to buy coffee without carbon atoms in it.Number one: Buy organic coffee, accept no substitutes.
Even if it's pure plastic?I agree, I refuse to buy coffee without carbon atoms in it.

Dow and Monsanto love you.
I never took organic chemistry either, but I imagine that all plastics contain carbon.Are there plastics with no carbon? I'm not sure. I wish I could have taken organic chemistry in school.
Now I'm curious. I went to a school that was big in polymer science. I should ask around. Anyway, I hate the term organic for food because it's already been used and it's nebulous. My favorite coffee I have here at home is Rainforest Alliance certified, Fair Trade, and organic, so I guess that's good. I'm sure whatever they have the cafeteria at work is probably made from chemical runoff from the superfund site down the road.I never took organic chemistry either, but I imagine that all plastics contain carbon.
I'm going to try this tomorrow. Are you just using that bitter/sour Hershey's powder? What kind of ratio?Anyway I'm going to try some coffee that nuts.com sells. There Dark Cocoa powder is pretty good.
You should stick with that. The stuff I drink isn't Fair Trade, but I think that's a definite plus. Any time you treat the workers better, it's bound to improve the product. Also, it's just good karma.My favorite coffee I have here at home is Rainforest Alliance certified, Fair Trade, and organic, so I guess that's good.

Last time I bought that stuff was around 40 years ago, no lie. I brought it back to the store and got my money back it tasted so bad. I've tried all the best brands and the winner is:I'm going to try this tomorrow. Are you just using that bitter/sour Hershey's powder? What kind of ratio?

Hello no I use this from nuts.com:I'm going to try this tomorrow. Are you just using that bitter/sour Hershey's powder? What kind of ratio?
OK. I found another coffee that I like better than the above Jamaica Blue Mountain blend. Costco had Lavazza Caffe Espresso beans and I bought a bag to try it. I really like it, and Lavazza Espresso beans will be my daily coffee going forward as long as Costco keeps carrying it. I'm going to buy like 10 bags to stock up in case Costco stops carrying it.
It's around $12 or so at Costco. My go to coffee for the past couple years. Medium roast and easy to drink.
I get the San Francisco Bay Organic in 2 or 3 lb bags (whichever they have at the time) at Costco. Cost effective, moreover ORGANIC, I always buy ORGANIC coffee.OK.

Good, but you still have a long way to go before we can grant you the rank of honorary Italian... Lavazza Espresso beans will be my daily coffee going forward ..
