Paula that does sound very good. I just made me glass of coffee, with some milk and a carnation instant breakfast and a 1/2 scoop of chocolate UNJURY. Sorta a frotified coffee and my breakfast in one. It is gooood.

That sounds good Paula
I love my coffee mixed with cocoa in the morning. Since I gave up Soda you know I need something else to be addicted too.

ok, I admit, Im leary.
Has anyone on LBT ever heard of ganoderma? (its a chinese herb they use in tea) http://www.cafeganocoffee.com/
Here's the link incase anyone wants to check it out.
His teacher is swearing that this stuff is a cure to many of her ailments...

City: Van Nuys State: California | At first glance the Gano Coffee products look great. I have not done an extensive research into it as yet. I have just started. Here is a link to a website that talks about Reishi (Ganoderma Lucidum). This is the ingredient in the Gano coffee. The site does mention if you are taking anti-coagulants or cholesterol lowering meds to not take Gano. This product can also in rare cases cause diarrhea and dermitis. Keep in mind folks this is a mushroom. So if you are allergic to mushrooms you might want to steer clear of this product in all forms. But the benefits are great as well, Anti-inflammatory agent and used for Alzheimers sufferers. Do the research prior to taking the product. The site that Paula lists will send you a free sample and literature. I just had them send me some. Reishi - Ganoderma Lucidum
