How Starbucks is making more men impotent
The origin of Coffee
Most times, we associate Coffee to be a drink that traditionally symbolizes the taste of the Western civilization and from there does it have its origin and roots. But the truth is far from it.
The Two most important facts everyone needs to know.
Coffee is not from the West
Coffee drinking started right after time started ticking on this planet called earth.
The meaning of Coffee
The word “Coffee” comes from the name of a region of Ethiopia where Coffee was first discovered ‘Kaffa’. The name ‘Kaffa’ is inherited from the hieroglyphic nouns ‘KA’ and ‘AfA’. ‘KA’ is the name of God; ‘AFA’ is the name of earth and all plants that grow on earth. So the meaning of Koffee (Coffee) from its birth-place bells on as the land or plant of God.
The Botanical name of Coffee and what type does the majority consume
Botanically, coffee is belonging to the family Rubiaceae in the genus Coffea. Although the genus Coffea includes four major subsections, 66% of the world production mostly comes from Coffea arabica and 34% from Coffea canophora Pierre ex Froehner (robusta type), respectively (Mekuria et al, 2004).
The Power of Marketing-The Main stream Media
You may have the best goods on this planet and probably can offer the best services ever possible, but if you cannot put your product as a Packaged commodity, and present it to the world, the possibility of you even making a decent living would be Zero.
You don’t believe us? Just look around you, you will see there are thousands of people who aren’t better intelligent than you, who are aren’t better knowledgeably than you, who aren’t better focused than you, yet still, are far more rich and economically independent and are involved in the labor of their love. While most of the talented lot are indulged in the growth of someone else, called the boss.
The power of Packaging and Starbucks
Starbucks was able to put in use the concept of Packaging effectively together and employed marketing concepts that would appeal to the individual’s disillusioned self which are emotional driven. The need to seek recognition, the urge to act and behave different. “If you drink starbucks, you are different”. The only difference these drinks made was to convert the once healthy individuals into individuals of ill health.
Starbucks, the Coffee mogul has directly contributed to making more Men, impotent and probably tons more in the making. Starbucks, due to its expansive publicity reach had driven the gullible American public into thinking that,. holding a Cup of the mermaid logo in their hands, the somehow become extraordinarily unique.
Why Starbucks does not specify its Coffee’s ingredients?
If you were to take a google search of the list of the ingredients that Starbucks Americano has, you will only see the Nutritional content for the Americano. Surprising isn’t it. Hey!, wait, who care about the Ingredients, all that we care is the Nutrition data that would make us happy. You see, it is all in the mind.
Wow!, you tell yourself, I drink a Grande with around 150 mg of Caffeine and I get 15 calories from it. That is amazing!!
Hey! just relax, get some real facts here.
If you were to work before your computer for 30 minutes, then that would translate to around 40 calories spent. Which would mean, the calorific expenditure would be, 1.33 calories/minute. In literal translation that would mean, every minute of your work at your computer will require a spending amount of 1.33 calories.
So, a cup of Starbucks Americano will provide you with approximately, 15 minutes of work, since the drink is just Carbs, the only way the body will respond to it would be a Sugar spike in your blood, then that would mean a signal from your brain to release the equalizing Hormone, called the Insulin. But there is a problem. The Brain just doesn’t really know how much will be too much. Thus the blood sugar will plummet to all time low.
Now you crave again for the next Caffeine fix, you cannot again walk out of your company. After all you are employed on the first place to work there. Not keep taking coffee breaks. But you figure a way out. You know for sure, not all of the employees, take the coffee break at the same time. So you reach out to the cubicle on the tangent end. Jim, are you heading for your Coffee, of course, buddy. Get me a cup too.
Another shot, another mug, another caffeine fix, another insulin spike, and the never ending story continues. Buy what you did know is the average male has a Caffeine toleration level of 400 mg/day. But here your one cup of Americano from your favorite coffee shop has around, 166.1 ± 37.5 mg/serving of caffeine.
The heights of idiosyncrasies
The heights of idiosyncrasies of the time would be this. when we look for Content information for all of the products sold in Supermarkets, and make huge cries and put up shows of chaos, when Product information label goes missing or is absent, then how on earth did we all forget to do the same or even raise those usual haul up cries when we saw None on Starbucks coffee cups/mugs or on those Paper cups or tumblers. Why?
Why should the Cover be Plastic, to cover the steaming Coffee?
Did you ever ask or wonder, why would Starbucks use a cover made of Plastic to cover the Steaming Americano. Do they not know that Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the material most commonly used to make Plastics and High temperatures can leach Antimony out of PET, which in turn would disrupt the Endocrine system in humans.
The flexibility of the Plastic cover is due to the addition of a group of chemicals classified under the name, Phthalates .
The flexibility of the cover is due to the presence of this additive, Phthalates. Research has shown that Phthalates has been shown to cause,
increased Adiposity and Insulin resistance. Phthalates have been linked to cause Erectile dysfunction among men.
Adiposity
Everyone despises the fat people, for no fault of theirs. If we need one thing for the cause of the fat people, then it should be, No discrimination against size. Yes, its time we start to put the requirements in place. You know why? With the ever increase Starbucks americano being served steaming hot, with plastic tops, more Phthalates will directly contribute to increased obesity and associated risk.
A 10 Research study carried out clearly links coffee consumption with increased Waist size. Which in turn has a direct correlation to
increased risk of Cardio-Metabolic disorders.
There is also a greater correlation between, Waist size and elevated Fasting plasma glucose, hypertension, elevated triglycerides and low HDL-cholesterol
And to add to that, there is a correlation between Increased Waist size and Erectile dysfunction.
Ever wondered why the fit Man gets all the woman
Whether you like it or not, women are always attracted to a man who is fit and in shape. He has the moves and more so compliments them with greater sexual energy.
You ought to know this, the stronger the body, the deeper the Thrust and longer the sexual stint. There is a huge difference in the warm up zones for a man and a woman.
Most men, get high, and pump the load out, and then lay down flat to doze off. Women hate that.
But the irony is, most men do not know the desires of a women, the sexual points, the sexual triggers and the peaks and dips. For they all grew up watching Porn. Hence they think, sexual act has to be in tandem with the Porn study that they had watched. Well, we shall reserve the discussion for another post.
The point we are trying to make here is that the man should be able to continue the love making session until the woman says, “I am tired”, “I want to sleep”, “You have taken my energy out”. These are good feed backs, and to achieve these, the man in question should have the Energy, the Vitality and the Body.
The Body is most important
This is hard truth of life that no one wants to tell you but will often tell the contrary that, the mind, and the brain are much more valuable than the body.
That is the out right lie, a lie that schools and colleges have promoted. In fact, without a strong body, nothing can be accomplished.
There is a verse in the Bible which says, “The Spirit is willing, but the Body is too weak”. Most people want to achieve great things in life, but would often be incapacitated by poor health.
What are CGAs, and what you did not know?
CGAs, are the one of the most available Phenolic acid compound in foods, specially from plant sources, which demonstrates various therapeutics roles.
Chlorogenic acids (CGA) are the main phenolic compounds in Coffee and coffee has one of the highest concentrations of CGA of all plant constituents.
The Quantity of CGAs found in various Coffee, Varieties
The order of CGA concentration (mg/g) in coffee samples was found as follows:
- Arabica Jimma Raw
- Arabica Jimma
- Arabica Sidamo
- Arabica Nekemit
- Arabica Jimma Husk
List of Benefits that CGAs offer
Antioxidant, Antibacterial, Hepatoprotective, Cardioprotective, Anti-inflammatory, Antipyretic, neuroProtective, Anti-Obesity, Antiviral, Anti-Micrrobial, Anti-Hypertension, free-radical scavengers, protective cover for the Central Nervous system.
Roasting destroys CGA
The higher the Caffeine content, lower the CGA. Chlorogenic acids are almost completely degraded when subjected to severe conditions of roasting due to its thermal instability. Most coffee shops adopt standards that questions their roasting practices.
Starbucks, why don’t you specify the CGA, levels in your Coffee?
This is the much important question that ought to addressed. A look at the Starbucks website will convey as though, that the industry is all geared to protect and to promote, Humanity and Honesty.
If that be the truth, then why not start stating the CGA, levels. This would be the validation that would convey as to how far or how much humanity and honesty that the industry adopts and follows.
At times, the greatest health hazard would lie right in full view before us, but our eyes would be so much blinded that we often take our eyes and pass.
Your Coffee can have Pesticide trace
There are a list of Pesticides that are found on Coffee beans depending on the place from where it was sourced from. There are good Coffee farmers who adopt Good Manufacturing Practices, but we have no clue as to from Starbucks is sourcing its Coffee from. Merely stating that, “Our Coffee comes from the best places on earth”, wouldn’t mean a thing, unless the farmers and their practices are validated and certified by independent bodies.
The list of Pesticides/Chemicals that one ought to worry about and are listed below, these are known for releasing their effects in a progressive manner causing the individual to suffer in the long run.
Endosulfan, Chlorpyrifos, Methyl Parathion, Triadimefon
Research has shown that pesticide traces are difficult to be flushed from the blood streams and they have a serious impact on Erectile strength. In most cases, there is high significant correlation between pesticides in food and impotence among men.
Recommendation
This post has been placed with a social concern. Specially for Men’s health. With growing increase in Importance and Erectile dysfunction cases, the need has come to address the issues at grass root levels.
You might adopt the following suggestions
Avoid drinking Starbucks- for according to a Californian bench, the Starbucks Coffee has Cancer causing compounds, which we have not mentioned here. Largely due to limited availability of grant for this post and the man hours required.
The PET, in which the hot Coffee steams hit, are sure to leave their trace in the Coffee cup. Again, we have not mentioned about the Cup and the material used, for to mention that research finding, that would again require sufficient funding.
As a consumer you are entitled to know the levels of CGA in Starbucks coffee, at least this would give you some solace.
Good Manufacturing Practice is a must, as consumer you ought to know the exact source from whom the coffee is obtained. Pesticides and fungicides are now taking a toll on human health. It is said, the cost of health for nations will be in gargantuan order by 2030.
Starbucks does not take any accountability for its product. Just look at their disclaimer on their web site.
”
We cannot guarantee that any unpackaged products served in our stores are allergen-free because we use shared equipment to store, prepare, and serve them.”
You call this as accountability?
As the proverbial statement goes, ‘Most times, the enemy will walk past you with a smile, and you will never even have a hint, he shall dine in your midst, and you shall toast for his health, until he thrusts his betrayal deep into your solar plexus, then ye shall remark, my foolishness has got the better of me”
