“I love K cups for convenience, but most of the good polyphenols are washed away during processing.”

Really? I had not read that before. I’ll have to do research on this and consider making changes. I agree about the convenience and would hate to give them up.

Sadly, it’s true.

Only about 1/3 of the polyphenols survive the k-cup making process. Still better than a Diet Coke or the like, but not nearly the health benefits of drip coffee through a paper filter.

I didn’t want to believe it, so I only reluctantly accepted the data, but it’s pretty easy to find.

I pouted for a day in denial.
