Myth # 1. Instant coffee - non-natural drink
The most common misconception is that soluble coffee is an artificial product, consisting exclusively of flavors and dyes. In fact, this myth follows from the elementary ignorance of the stages of making a soluble drink. But the raw materials for it are ordinary coffee beans, which are fried and ground into powder. Then the concentrate is cooked from the powder, which, depending on the technology, is either dried or frozen. As a result, the liquid turns into solid granules - the basis of instant coffee. Of course, many unscrupulous manufacturers can use illiquid grains and add caffeine and flavors to hide the low quality of the product. But to protect yourself from this kind of surprises quite easily, buying branded products of famous brands. For example, a soft taste and natural flavor is the Melitta Original instant coffee, made exclusively from high quality coffee beans.
Myth # 2. Granulated coffee is bad for health
This delusion follows from the previous myth. But as we have already established, there are no chemical additives to the granular product in its granular product, so it is not more harmful than regular grain coffee. As for its more pronounced invigorating effect, which is associated with increased caffeine content, then with moderate consumption (2-3 cups a day) for a healthy person, it poses no danger. Conversely, instant coffee has a positive effect when one considers that many harmful components that filter out during manufacturing are absent in it. Yes, and it provides an invigorating effect faster, toning and activating the body after just a few sips.
Myth # 3. Soluble coffee leads to dehydration and leaching of calcium from the body
Disputes about the fact that the sublimated drink washes away useful substances, in particular calcium, from the body and has a negative effect on the water-salt balance have been going on for many years. But none of the numerous studies have confirmed the fact that a granular drink is more harmful in this respect than ground coffee. Therefore, as for the washing out of calcium, 2-3 cups of any coffee a day can not wash it out of the bones provided that you consume enough of the products containing Ca. Although with a deficiency of calcium in the body, coffee can further reduce its level. But to solve this problem is quite easy, adding to your favorite drink the usual milk. By the way, milk and cream are perfectly combined with sublimated Melitta Gold coffee, made from arabica grains.
Concerning the dehydrating effect, with moderate consumption, instant coffee can provide up to 40% of the daily fluid norm in the body, which is a fairly high index. The main thing is to know the measure and not to drink more than 5 cups of this fragrant drink per day, giving preference to quality brands, such as Melitta.
