That there can be some anti-cancer effects with the diterpenes.

A related question from Freda Vera.
They ask, what's the best overall company to purchase organic beans for cognitive protection?
Again, I'm turning to Purity Coffee because one of the reasons I really like their brand is they have a lot of testing and data posted on their site.
They sort of validate the organic beans.
They do independent analyses on beans.
You know, they're the polyphenol content.
So this would be the chlorogenic acid.
And it seems to be pretty much like, you know, really high, high amount of the chlorogenic acid.
In fact, their light to medium roast preserves around 65% more of these polyphenols than other organic brands do.
And they also have third-party testing showing that they're free of pesticides and heavy metals and other contaminants.
So I like that brand.
And again, the polyphenols are really what is beneficial for brain health.
Again, caffeine itself also appears to be beneficial.
So I'm on my decaf kick right now, but I will shift back to my caffeinated coffee eventually.
