Limit Your Coffee Intake

Serve Yourself Spinach

How About That Coffee?

Are you a coffee drinker? Is your day not officially up and running until you have your cup (or three) of java? While caffeine is okay in small doses ― it is important to be careful about which coffee filters you use. Bleached coffee filters can leach chlorine into your coffee, releasing dioxins with every drip. Buy unbleached or oxygen-bleached filters instead. Oxygen-bleached filters use chlorine dioxide, a type of bleach that doesn't create dioxin residues.
