Organic tells you how coffee was grown. It doesn't tell you whether it was tested for mold toxins or heavy metals. Gary Brecka explains why the coffee bean is really the seed of a fruit, how ochratoxin A was detected in 54.6% of more than 3,000 coffee samples in a 2024 systematic review, and why volcanic soil can bring lead, cadmium, and arsenic into your cup. Then he shows you what to check on your bag tomorrow morning. Don't guess, test.
