14 Things About Coffee You Didn’t Know Before by richardjemedafe1(m): 5:11pm On Oct 16, 2014
1. It is believed that coffee was first used in Ethiopia
but it was eaten rather than drunk. The beans were
ground up and turned into energy bars after they
were mixed with animal fat.

2. Coffee was originally called “Qahwa” when it was
taken from Africa by Arab traders in 1000 A.D. The
name can be translated as “that which prevents
sleep.”

3. A more obscure use was to clean the liver. It was
given as an enema and they also insisted it cured
cancer.

4. There have been DIY coffee enema kits for sale on
Amazon since Prince Charles championed them.

5. According to research carried out by Harvard
School of Public Health drinking at least 6 cups a day
can prevent death from prostate cancer.

6. According to Lund University Coffee could reduce
the chance of breast cancer of type CYP1A2.

7. It seems that cup size is important when it comes
to both coffee and breasts, as women who have
small breasts tend to drink more than 3 cups daily.

8. Coffee is also seem to be a conduit when it comes
to out of body experiences and hearing voices
according to psychologists at Durham University in
the UK.

9. Coffee purchases take up a large part of the
expenditure of the average American as they spend
$40 billion each year on buying coffee.
10. It has been estimated that there are 1.6 billion –
or there about – cups of coffee consumed world-wide
each day.

11. Coke may have a lot of caffeine but when buying
coffee at Starbucks, you will get the same amount in
one 16 oz. coffee – they call it the grande – as you
would in 9 and a half cans of Coke.

12. 37 gallons of water is needed to make one cup of
coffee although most of this is taken up in the
growing and processing rather than the actual
brewing.

13. There are concerns that coffee growing areas are
being eradicated according to London’s Royal Botanic
Gardens. It is feared that the eco systems needed to
grow coffee beans in South Sudan and Ethiopia will
soon be gone. The good news is that there are many
other coffee growing areas.

14. If you want coffee that is naturally decaffeinated
then you will have to drink Coffea Charrieriana that
comes from Cameroon.

Coffee is an amazing drink. People love to drink coffee at their offices, homes, or wherever they want. Here they told us that coffee beans taste better and also make a better day for you. I also love coffee very much. But my wife stops me to drink much. Despite her stopping, I drink 4 to 5 cups a day.
