G+_Robert Hafer Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Watching Beer How 2. A great alternative to sugary soda is a well brewed cup of coffee. A medium roast brewed right doesn't need anything added, IMHO. A few shows on coffee brewing would be great. In my experience, science doesn't progress without the application of coffee.

G+_Jason Marsh Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Give me the sweet stuff. Honey has replaced granulated sugar in our home, and it goes very well with a stick of cinnamon in your coffee. Oh, and cream is not just an option, as it does more than impart body and flavor to your cup of Joe. Cream will bind up the oxalate in coffee before it makes it to your bloodstream. Without the calcium input (cream) , oxalate will enter the bloodstream to bind with calcium and form calcium oxalate, which your kidneys will clear. The problem is that it very easily forms stones, and I can share from multiple experiences with this that they are no party to pass. It's best to bind that oxalate in the mug before it ever makes it past the palate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Robert Hafer Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Jason Marsh If you're making calcium oxalate in your coffee and then drink it; doesn't the oxalate end up in your bloodstream anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Marsh Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 It's not readily absorbed by the digestive tract. Oxalate alone is readily absorbed, thus it's best to lock it away with milk or dairy cream before consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
