Puroast(reg) Process Unveils The Next Revolution in Coffee, 'Low Acid'

By
Woodland, CA, USA - In 2003 a survey conducted by the National Heartburn Association documented that fifty-four million Americans suffer heartburn at least twice a week. Among these sufferers, seventy-five percent stated that beverages like coffee elicited heartburn or other gut symptoms at a frequency which ranged from some of the time to every time they drank coffee. The Puroast(reg) Coffee Company estimates such consumers could represent up to 20% of the $20 billion US coffee market.

After receiving many responses from these sufferers that the symptoms, normally experienced when drinking coffee, were not evoked or only marginally so when they drank Puroast's(reg) Process Low Acid coffee, the Puroast(reg) Coffee Company undertook a structured questionnaire clinical trial which is ongoing.

The interim results from this study are very encouraging and seem to corroborate the responses from the customers who previously suffered gut symptoms but had those symptoms partially relieved or eliminated when they drank Puroast(reg) Process Low Acid coffee. This clinical trial was designed and is being conducted under the supervision of Arthur R. Euler, M.D, a gastroenterologist who specializes in the design and conduct of clinical studies. He has previously directed such studies that involved Zantac(reg), Protonix(reg), and SMA(reg).

Dr. Euler made the following comments when questioned about this clinical trial on August 10, 2004, "Intolerance of coffee is a major problem that often leads physicians to restrict or eliminate coffee along with citrus juices from the diets of patients with gastroesophageal reflux. Most often decaffeinated coffees also provoke symptoms in those patients who develop symptoms when drinking caffeinated coffee. It may be that the clinical trial being presently conducted by Puroast(reg) Coffee Company will show that such patients can enjoy coffee without developing these troublesome symptoms or at a much reduced level. I am eager to see that the final results of the trial".

The customers noted above who stated that Puroast(reg) Process Low Acid coffee provided partial or complete symptom relief also said that an additional reason for their liking Puroast(reg) coffee was its gourmet coffee flavor. It is believed that both of these effects are achieved because of Puroast(reg)'s breakthrough technology.

CEO Kerry Sachs developed the revolutionary process while living in the coffee regions of Venezuela. "Spending days at a time on remote coffee farms allowed me to share in the lifestyle of the growers", says Sachs. "I learned that their smooth tasting coffee was produced by a different roasting method. I thought it was an idea worth pursuing and, along with some local technicians, worked to engineer a system that could produce the coffee in commercial quantities".

Armed with the results of this study and following on the success of products like Minute Maid's Low Acid Orange Juice, the company is now in contact with several coffee industry leaders to commercialize the process through licensing, co-branding and contract roasting.

Is too much soy bad for men?

By
While soy may be beneficial to women in a variety of ways, research in monkeys suggests that it could have an adverse effect on the behavior of men, according to researchers from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Reporting in the current issue of the scientific journal Hormones and Behavior, the researchers found that in male monkeys, "long-term consumption of a diet rich in soy isoflavones can have marked influences on patterns of aggression and social behavior." Isoflavones are a naturally occurring plant estrogen in soy protein. "Although considerable attention has been directed at the potentially beneficial effects of isoflavones in reducing the risk of various cancers, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and postmenopausal symptoms, less effort has been invested in characterizing neurobehavioral effects," according to the study.

Dietary modification could be a simple way to reduce the risk of stroke

By
Dietary modification could be a simple way to reduce the risk of stroke say researchers. The research shows a diet that consists of meats, refined grains and desserts is associated with a greater risk for stroke than a diet of fruits, vegetables, fish, legumes and whole grains. The study included dietary information on 71,768 female nurses between 38 and 63 years old. The women had no history of heart disease or diabetes. They completed questionnaires about their diet every few years for 14 years. Researchers tracked how many of the women had a stroke and then compared their diets. They rated the women's diets based on if they ate more of a Western diet or a prudent diet. During the follow-up, 791 women in the study had had a stroke. It was found that women who ate a Western diet vs. a prudent diet had a higher risk of developing a stroke . They say those who had the highest scores for a Western diet, meaning they mainly ate meat, refined grains and sweets, had a more than 50...

Patient wins right to stop doctors withdrawing food and drink when he can no longer speak

By
Leslie Burke, who has a degenerative brain condition (cerebellar ataxia), was concerned that doctors may one day withdraw food and drink when he could no longer speak. He has won a high court ruling which says the doctors cannot do that. Leslie wants to go on living for as long as he can, even when he loses his ability to communicate his wishes to people around him. According to UK General Medical Council guidance on providing artificial nutrition, Leslie thought there might be situations in which life saving food and drink could be withdrawn, even if this went against his wishes. If his situation got so that he could not speak, the present guidance could allow doctors to remove food and drink. Now the General Medical Council will have to re-write the guidance as a result of the new High Court ruling. This new ruling applies to all terminally ill patients and also patients who lose the ability to speak and communicate their wishes to doctors. The General Medical Council can appea...
