What occupied individual doesn’t love having an individual mug of coffee instantly with the push of a catch. Numerous individuals are enchanted when the Keurig machines appear in the work environment or specialist’s holding up room. I cherished the thought. I got one from Costco alongside the convenient unit to store those unbalanced K Cups. I, obviously, demanded the Newman’s Organic K Cups for my espresso decision.
We loaded our hot refreshment focus with an assortment of enhanced K Cups.
At that point that little voice in my mind began making inquiries
I pushed those worries away for comfort (all things considered, filling my own particular espresso channel with crisp ground espresso takes all of what … two minutes? I’m a bustling individual, much the same as you!).
I pondered:
– How crisp is the espresso in a K Cup?
– What poisons am I presenting myself to as the boiling water powers the espresso through the little openings jabbed in the plastic glass?
– What is that top made of that is jabbed at the best to enable the water to enter the glass?
– What synthetic concoctions are utilized as a part of the seasoned espresso choices?
– Is there a channel inside the plastic container? What is it made of and how is it anchored inside the plastic container?
On the off chance that you possess a Keurig, if it’s not too much trouble keep perusing this post since what I found is stunning and sickening. This will clarify why I am kicking my Keurig to the control.
Is Your Keurig Harboring Mold and Bacteria?
When I pressed up my kitchen to move 500 miles south, I needed to ensure that my Keurig was totally unfilled and dry before it went on the moving truck. IMPOSSIBLE!
Keurig.com states, “Once your Keurig home brewer has been prepared, you can’t void the water from within. The inner tank of the brewer can’t be depleted.”
The microbiologist in me is nauseated at the idea. Once upon a time when I worked in a healing center lab, we discharged all water stores day by day or they would develop microorganisms and a biofilm could create. You know about biofilms in the event that you at any point wiped the goo out of a bloom vase after the blossoms have passed on. Biofilms are discovered wherever there is water and a surface to stick to (like your shower shade).
The elastic tubing and the inner tank of the Keurig can’t be drained. It is conceivable that microbes and shape are joyfully living inside that concealed water tank where it is decent, dull, and warm. Another form magnet is that dark elastic ring on the base of the outside water compartment. Look now! Is there green or dark sludge? Ewwwww (biofilm!).
Donna Duberg, M.A., M.S., an right hand teacher of clinical research center science at Saint Louis University stated, “Microscopic organisms frames a smooth biofilm when developed in clammy, dim spots, thus do molds.”
No, your espresso bean’s antibacterial activity isn’t sufficient to slaughter these microbes that are drifting through the framework. Duberg stated, “There is examine which demonstrates that it is just around 50 percent compelling in eliminating microscopic organisms, for example, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans, and molds.”
No, your water isn’t getting hot enough to slaughter all organisms that are living in your espresso framework. For that to happen, the water would need to achieve bubbling temperature and remain there for one moment. What’s more, for goodness’ sake, wash your work environment espresso mug with dish cleanser and water. Specialists found that half of work environment espresso mugs were tainted with fecal microscopic organisms.
Would you be able to clean the Keurig? The initial step is to discharge out the outside water tank and look inside the tank. Does it feel foul? Perfect and dry that tank and run a couple of pushes of weakened vinegar through the Keurig. Good fortunes with that. One individual stated, “I could at present notice a rotten fragrance in the wake of doing many vinegar cycles. There were additionally black, floaty things in my container notwithstanding when I just prepared high temp water.”
Plastic K Cups Conundrum
The Plastic – The K Cup is a composite plastic, #7. Despite the fact that this is in fact sans bpa, the synthetic compounds from the composite plastic are not safe and they still have estrogenic activity. As long as I specified phony estrogens originating from the plastic in your K Cup, don’t exacerbate an awful circumstance by adding soy milk to your coffee! (Men, would you like “moobs” with your mocha and soy?).
The Cups Are Non-Recyclable – This is a major issue for the earth since we have seen a blast in the utilization of single mug espresso creators, as Keurig, over the most recent couple of years. MotherJones.com reported, more than 8.3 billion K Cups multi year are disposed of, enough to circle the earth 10.5 times!
The Lid is Polyethylene Coated Foil
Aluminum thwart. Indeed, we might want to stay away from aluminum because of the association with the biggies:
– Alzheimer’s Disease
– Anxiety
– Depression
– Autism
– Celiac Disease
Dr. Stephanie Seneff, PhD recently gave a talk, “How aluminum and glyphosate (Roundup) work together to cause tension, dejection, a mental imbalance and celiac disease” you can even now get MP3s and transcripts if you are intrigued.
