Mushrooms, a key ingredient in our blends, are a superfood that are essential for the Paleo diet. Compounds found in certain mushrooms have the potential to reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. As a valuable source of dietary fiber and the five B vitamins (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pyridoxine (B6) and folate, they are sans (virtually without) fat, sugar or salt . What we also know is that they contain the essential minerals potassium, copper, phosphorous and iron, important for those who are especially enduring intense workouts or have bouts of exhaustion. Probably most convincing for anyone on the Paleo diet is the fact that they contain selenium which is a mineral that is not found in many...

By Lecia Bushak  We already know that coffee can provide you with a boost of energy, and that its antioxidants may be good for you in various ways. But a new study out of Cornell University found that coffee’s strong antioxidant, chlorogenic acid (CLA), is actually therapeutic for our eyes, protecting the retina and preventing retinal degeneration in mice. Researchers treated the eyes of mice with nitric oxide, which leads to retinal degeneration by developing free radicals and oxidative stress. The mice that were penetrated with coffee’s antioxidant, chlorogenic acid, actually did not end up developing any retinal damage. It’s “important in understanding functional foods, that is, natural foods that provide beneficial health effects,” Chang Y. Lee, professor of food science...

Caffeine’s pain reducing qualities have long been known and researched. In fact, caffeine is one of the main ingredients in such pain relievers as Excedrin and Anecin. However, with caffeine and pain relief there is definitely a catch 22 situation. Consuming occasional caffeine can be a great pain relief enhancer, BUT using caffeine everyday and then stopping caffeine can actually cause headache and muscle pain. Let’s look at some of the research behind caffeine and it’s pain relieving qualities.

Recent studies show that a cup of coffee right after an operation may lead to faster recovery times and happier patients. Dr. Kirtly Jones from University of Utah Health discusses what the research shows and why you might want to ask for an espresso after your next procedure.

By By Geoffrey James In what's got to be the dumbest idea yet from the nanny state of California (sorry, guys, but it's true), coffee sold in the state may need to be labeled as a carcinogen. The science is beyond feeble. You'd need to drink 2,000 cups of coffee a day to get to the level that caused cancer in mice. And humans metabolize coffee differently anyway.  More importantly, according to CNN, there is "no statistically significan association between dietary acrylamide intake and various cancers."  So the great California coffee cancer scare is pseudoscientific bullsh*t. Want to know what's not bullsh*t? The actual science, which proves overwhelmingly that drinking coffee is incredibly good for you (with one exception, which I'll get to in a bit). A recent article in the Annual Review of Nutrition described...

That's the surprising finding from a team led by Giuseppe Grosso, a of the University of Catania in Italy. He and his team reviewed 127 "meta-analysis" studies on coffee consumption. Each of these studies was itself a review of a number of similar coffee-consumption studies, and Grosso and his team ranked them all according to the methods used and reliability of the conclusions drawn.  They had...
