Love Diabetes: The anti-diabetes coffee

http://www.lovediabetes.com - American runs on Dunkin', I'm lovin' it, and an entity that single-handedly defined tall, grande and venti as synonyms for coffee -- you know who I'm talking about. Caffeine is a fix for many of us in the hectic pace of life today. Approximately 60% of America has a daily date with their liquid love. However, rumor has it coffee can innocently deteriorate beta cell function. How can we ensure our luxurious boost isn't suppressing our poor little beta cells? Chlorine has been added to the Nation's water supply in an effort to kill-off bacteria that may have adverse affects in humans. Unfortunately, this decision may have inadvertently contributed to the rising trend of people developing diabetes. The chlorinated water combined with coffee grinds produces a byproduct used in labs to cause diabetes. I called 3 large chains famous for their brews. Survey says people with (and without) diabetes can get the safest cup of coffee at establishments that filter their water.

@7monday

Thanks for the hints. To be honest i exaggerated and it was meant as a joke *scnr*

Ok, some facts - here in Germany, water is usually cleaned using a chain of several different procedures:

1. mechanical procedures (adsoprtion, filtering, stripping, grading, etc.)

2. biological procedures (adding nitrates, filtering out nitrates)

3. chemical procedures (oxidation, precipitation)

And yes, here in Cologne we also use mops to tidy our floors ;D

I am a citizen of the USA and shared living space with a household of people in Hamburg for 3 months.

The water tasted fine, and I never got moldy feet.

I think the typical practice in Germany is to wear house shoes indoors, after taking off street shoes, and not be bare-foot in the home. (I think people are bare-footed in most households in the USA).

Also, in Hamburg, we kept the floors pretty clean, with mopping several times a week.

I'd like to know how Germany cleans public water for drinking.

I think I have heard it is a "reverse osmosis" process, but I don't know for sure. Maybe that's more expensive than chlorine.

Thats right, Germany does not use chlorine. Thus, our bathrooms are full of mold and everony has sweaty feets. :P

I'd really like to have chlorine and fluoride in my water like you do. But ok i dont have diabetes.

Ordinary paper filters will filter out only particles (like coffee grounds). Since chlorine in water is dissolved in the water (and not in the form of a particle), paper filters won't remove the chlorine. I don't know whether or not a charcoal filter system would remove chlorine.

I believe Germany does not use chlorine in their drinking water.

WOW

It sounds like a silly joke but how interesting. Who would have thought?

Thanks for the heads up
