1 year agoIt seems like filtered coffee did not have a negative relationship in this study.
I wonder why? I am not super familiar with the specifics of instant coffee but gather that’s it is basically very concentrated.
Just some speculation, maybe sourcing cheaper/multiple kinds of beans? Is instant coffee single source? If it’s not it could be that some of the beans that are being sourced have higher lead content. I know for example that lead is a problem in tea leaves if not monitored for, as the plants will take up lead from the soil.
