These 4 Shocking Facts Will Make You Never Want To Use a Keurig Again
And here’s what you can use instead…
1. Plastic coffee pods are made out of #7 Polycarbonate
One of the worst types of plastic composites. It’s known to contain Bisphenol-A or BPA, a dangerous hormone disruptor that leaches out when the plastic is exposed to heat or acid. Research has linked BPA exposure to reproductive disorders, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, fetal brain development, and breast and prostate cancer. How many K-Cups do you normally consume a day? 1, 2… even 3? The dangers of this terrible plastic is enough to never use another K-Cup again.
2. Number 7 Polycarbonate is also entirely non-biodegradable.
Did you know that over 8.3 million K-Cups are discarded every year, enough to circle the earth 10.5 times?! Just let that sink in for a while…
3. The rubber tube and internal tank of the Keurig can never be drained or cleaned!
These warm dark settings are the perfect harbor for mold, mildew and bacteria. Think about how long you’ve had your Keurig for…. months… even years? Yikes!
4. The K-Cup lid is made of polyethylene coated foil or “aluminum foil”
...Which is sadly associated with all the infamous bad guys; Alzheimer’s disease, anxiety, depression, autism and celiac disease. When the lid is punctured, the hot water takes with it some of the aluminum to your cup of mornin’ joe... which is a coffee condiment you just don’t need.
There’s never been a better time to Kill The K-Cup!
