Here is an explanation on why Puroast will help alleviate symptoms of many of the stomach problems and how these
symptoms occur.

The human stomach produces acid which performs at least two vital functions. One of the most important of these is that
this acid kills microorganisms which enter the stomach when saliva and/or ingested food are swallowed. This acid also begins the digestion process for some types of food. Although stomach acid serves these vital functions, it may also be one of the causes of a number of common gut problems and the symptoms associated with these problems such as heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion, and upset stomach.

Upper gastrointestinal symptoms, such as upset stomach and heartburn, are one of the most frequent gastrointestinal
problems that cause patients to seek medical care. These symptoms are also the main reason for the large non-prescription sale of acid reducing compounds such as Zantac or Pepcid and acid neutralization drugs like Tums and Rolaids. Physicians often restrict or eliminate acidic compounds such as citrus juices and coffee from the diets of such patients. Puroast’s patented roasting method has been shown in chemical assays conducted by the University of California Davis’s Food Science Department to result in coffee which has a lower content of potentially gut irritating acidic compounds such as dichlorogenic acids compared to other brands. These potentially gut irritating compounds may be one of the reasons why some customers develop gastrointestinal symptoms when drinking coffee. Puroast coffee’s lower content of these compounds may be very attractive to such customers and allow them to again enjoy coffee again. Puroast internal research thinks this number is over 60 million people in the United States alone.
