Erica,

just curious. How can I convince my husband ,who questions every source of any article that states that coffee is detrimental to health, that he needs to do his own research? He has found articles that prove that wrong. He has HBP and had a heart attack last year. I’ll drink a cup with him on the weekend but even then I wonder how much damage it did to my system. I read that it is very acidic. Is that true? I enjoy a good cup of coffee with an asiago bagel for a once in a while treat. But he drinks 2 cups every am. I know that it is loaded but I know so much about health stuff that he won’t listen to me. He gave up coffee for 5 months while we were overseas and drank green tea. Back in the US, back to coffee. Please, help. I can forward your link to him but I know he’s just gonna say :well look at their alternatives-they just want you to buy something else that they can make money off. I am sorry I am venting it. I didn’t mean to. I guess I dropped the coffee issue after he survived the HA and now it is bothering me again I guess. Your post stirred up a string. He want to loose 10lb or so and I was hoping the weight loss will trigger something inside to quit again. ANy ideas? How much are the tapes? I know he won’t like the alternatives. I know I didn’t when I tried something similar. It was awful. I at least found a sugar sub for coffee that doesn’t have a bitter aftertaste. He loads his in a big Starbucks cup! Hey, I am not complaining here, I am just desperate. I guess I better go pray and not unload here. Sorry, any ideas are welcome,
Thanks so much,

Good to hear from you! Sounds like you are very concerned about your husband. From what you describe I am not sure there is anything anyone can say to him to convince him to make a change. People have to want healthy changes for themselves. Changing how we eat is very hard, so if we don’t want it bad enough, usually the changes don’t stick. Know what I mean?

When making a switch to a healthier alternative to coffee, it helps to identify what attracts someone to coffee in the first place. For some people it’s the energy they get from the caffeine. For others it’s the taste. Some people enjoy the ritual of brewing, serving, smelling, serving, tasting. The Teeccino brews in a coffee pot and smells wonderful, so is good for people that like that part of it. The Gano Cafe is instant so it’s quick and easy and has a very coffee-ish taste.

If you aren’t sure if you’ll like our coffee alternatives or want to give a couple different kinds a try, you can order a sample pack for just $4!

If you want one of these packs, just send $4 to supermomshealth@hotmail.com via paypal.com. Be sure to let me know which items you want in your package!
