Excerpted from CNN.com article, 5 foods that should have a place in your diet.
There are many foods that have unnecessarily bad reputations among people who want to eat healthy, but several bad boy foods are actually really good for you. People often shy away from peanut butter, for example, because it’s high in fat, but it’s also been shown to cut the risk of heart disease. Eggs, coffee and avocados are other foods that people avoid but really should be adding to their plates, according to Cooking Light magazine.
And further the article went on: (emphasis is mine)
Check it out.
Then drink up!

Yep. Robert Bohannon, a scientist, has developed a caffeinated donut, in case a good cup of coffee isn’t enough for you. These confections have lots of sugar and trans fats to cover the bitter taste of the coffee beans he uses.. So I’m figuring that the couple cups o’ coffee are probably better for you, but it’s an interesting possibility.
You probably won’t find them first at Stoudtburg Village Coffee Shop, but we might be talking about them!

OK, Maybe you hated word problems in math class. Maybe you never even cared IF those two trains traveling towards each other would EVER meet. But this math problem is worth some consideration:
How much does one cup of coffee cost if you make it at home?
Let’s say you have a 12-cup pot and that it takes about 2 ounces of coffee beans to make one of those. And let’s say the coffee costs as much as $20 a pound!
Answer:
You know there are 16 ounces in a pound.
That’s 8 pots of coffee in a pound of beans.
Eight pots at 12 cups each is 96 cups of coffee in a pound.
And if the coffee cost $20 a pound…
Uh, $20 divided among 96 cups is just about 21 cents a cup!
Aren’t you worth good coffee at home AND on the road?

I think you’re worth it.

Judy Rupp, of Enid News in Oklahoma, pointed out for her readers about the ongoing swing of science reports — sometimes they say caffeine is good for you, sometimes it’s bad. It’s always addictive, but generally no one seems to say it’s really bad for you.
In the article Unanswered: Is caffeine good or bad? she says caffeine is
… one of the most widely researched drugs, and, after years of close study scientists have yet to demonstrate whether, if caffeine consumption were stopped tomorrow, the worldwide results would be positive or negative.
Yep.. it’s good for you.. or it’s not.

I do love to hear from happy customers! Makes this whole workin’ for a living thing worth while. Keep on writing.. and keep comin’ in.
Well Carol it was fun…
I laughed, I cried, I wanted another piece of that delicious coconut cake. Relaxing with your coffee is the perfect way to end the shopping experience.
The decision to enjoy a cup of your coffee (second good move in three months) was the ticket to release the stress. …Although the trip takes about an hour and a half from Quakertown, we will make coffee a priority every time. It’s like going to your favorite bar but I can drive home afterwards.Keep up the beans warm, we will back (that’s a threat).Sincerely,John

Carol,
My friend and I were in your coffee shop on Thursday and we had a great time chatting with you.
The coffee and hot chocolate were very good but it was your friendliness that really sent us out the door with big smiles on our faces. You certainly will see us again.
Keep that wonderful banter going with your customers. It is a special trait.
I can’t wait for my sister to visit so I can bring her along.
Success always and my coffee mug will be bigger next time.
Thank you,
Jane, the gal from Virginia, not West Virginia
We had a laugh over whether she was from Virginia or West Virginia.
What do you remember from YOUR last trip to the Stoudtburg Village Coffee Shop? We’d love to hear about it!

From SeniorJournal.com offering Senior Citizens News and Information Daily on the Web
Seniors Citizens are told that antioxidants are good for preventing just about everything from Alzheimer’s to cancer, to heart disease, and even dementia in old dogs. The facts in a paper presented August 28, 2005, however, may surprise most people — coffee is by far the number one source of antioxidants in the American diet.
“Americans get more of their antioxidants from coffee than any other dietary source. Nothing else comes close,” says study leader Joe Vinson, Ph.D., a chemistry professor at the University of Scranton (Pa.).

Here’s some exciting news! A new study reported on by Mary Beckman in ScienceNOW Daily News, 12 June 2006 says that if you drink alcohol, perhaps more than you should, AND you consume large amounts of coffee (not tea!) you might escape cirrhosis of the liver.
When the researchers compared those who had consumed similar amounts of alcohol, they found that for each cup of coffee consumed per day, individuals were 22% less likely to be hit with alcohol-induced cirrhosis. The heaviest coffee drinkers were 80% less likely to suffer cirrhosis.

While the Stoudtburg Village Coffee Shop is a place for coffee drinkers, we also have a great assortment of teas from around the world. And from time to time it seems nice to include some information for tea drinkers as well. Although author Chris Martell does give the nod to the fact that caffeine in coffee goes “directly into our bloodstream and quickly jolts us into a higher gear.”
This is from an extensive article Tea: It’s hip to sip from the Wisconsin State Journal on June 9, 2006, by
All teas made from the true tea plant have caffeine unless it is deliberately removed either through chemical or water processes. The caffeine content among teas varies widely and is influenced by the type of tea, the brewing time, the ratio of tea to water and whether the tea is loose or in teabags. But in general a mug of black tea contains about half as much as the same amount of coffee.
And further:
The caffeine in tea works differently. Other ingredients in tea cause its caffeine to be released more gradually into the central nervous system. The stimulating effects of tea are felt more slowly, last longer and there’s not the same sort of crash that’s experienced with coffee.
