The Hidden Dangers of Coffee Consumption

Consuming coffee is a common practice for many people, but the presence of mold and mycotoxins in coffee beans poses serious health risks. Mold can develop due to the moist and warm environments during growth, storage, and transferring of coffee beans, leading to toxic mycotoxins. Tests indicate that up to 50% of beans contain these harmful substances, potentially causing liver and kidney issues. These contaminants are difficult to detect and their impact on humans remains uncertain, prompting the need for cleaner coffee products.
