Mold Free Coffee

Okay, most Americans run on coffee, and coffee is can be a great source of antioxidants. However coffee is one of those crops that can be potentially harmful to our health if it is not properly sourced and stored. Coffee beans grow in very warm and humid climates. Which makes the coffee incredibly susceptible to mold growth. Coffee can also be prone to fungus over growth. Fungus such as Ochratoxin A is a common mycotoxin, or fungi that accumulates on coffee beans improperly kept and can also have adverse health effects.

Ochratoxin A is common in coffee, “A 2009 study from Batista et al. found that 56% of 128 different coffee samples contained OTA. This particular study found that cross-contamination of OTA was common in processing centers that did not safeguard against these particles. That means that even beans that were not infected before they reached a processing plant could be contaminated through the facility’s condition.

According to Purity Coffee, “Ochratoxin A (also known as OTA) has been tied to a number of serious health risks. The U.S. government considers the compound to be a possible carcinogen. It’s also an immunosuppressant, which means it hurts the body’s ability to heal or protect itself from disease. Finally, it’s also connected to nephrotoxicity, meaning it’s particularly dangerous to the kidneys. Specifically, a study of Balkan Endemic Nephropathy found that consuming OTA was correlated with the disease, which was associated with severe kidney damage and difficulty with urination.

Once OTA contaminates the coffee beans there is no way other than extreme high heat roasting in order to eliminate it. The problem with that is that all the health benefits and antioxidants are also destroyed when roasted under extreme heat.With Purity coffee you can be assured that your coffee is the HIGHEST quality because it passes through rigorous third-party testing for mold, mycotoxins, and contaminant. Purity will never purchase coffee that is contaminated with Ochratoxin and Aflatoxin.
