YouChews Coffee Chews — YouChews / YouChews

If you want to get your caffeine fix but don’t have time to drink a whole cup of coffee, there’s a new solution. YouChew’s Coffee Chews blend 100% Hawaiian-grown Kona coffee beans with smooth cacao and Guarana to deliver a delicious pick-me-up that rivals your favorite cup of joe. Perfect for on-the-go energy, each chew contains the same caffeine as an 8-ounce cup of coffee. Two chews contain the equivalent of a double shot of espresso. The caffeine in each chew comes from a plant native to the Amazon rainforest known as Guarana, delivering long-lasting energy without sugar spikes or jitters.

Each YouChew coffee chew contains only 2 grams of sugar and uses all-natural ingredients. Each bite includes a delicious creamy coconut and a slightly sweet, soft flavor from natural coconut butter, blended with a gentle chocolatey experience from the velvety cacao. Unlike other caffeine-packed products that can sometimes cause a crash, YouChew’s Coffee Chews contain natural caffeine released slowly. As a result, users get longer, more consistent energy without the highs and lows of coffee.

Each chew is vegan-friendly, keto-friendly, and dairy-free, making this an excellent option for nearly any coffee and chocolate lover.

What time of day should you consume coffee? New study indicates timing matters for health

Why you should limit your coffee-drinking to the morning

If you sip on coffee all day long, it may be time to reconsider the timing of your coffee consumption. In a new study published in the European Heart Journal, researchers found that drinking coffee only in the morning contributed to a lower mortality risk compared to drinking coffee later in the day. While several studies have suggested the health benefits of coffee, few studies have specifically looked at the timing of coffee.

This new study was based on a previous study from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which followed the habits of coffee drinkers from 1999 to 2018. Researchers broke down data into three subgroups: those who consume coffee in the early morning, afternoon, or evening hours. Compared with people who weren’t coffee drinkers, having coffee only in the morning was associated with a 16% lower risk of premature death from any cause and a 31% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.

What’s the strongest coffee? How to compare taste, roasts, and caffeine content

The answer depends on how you define "strong"

I've wondered, "What's the strongest coffee?" many times, yet in a completely different scenario. Sometimes, I wonder what the strongest coffee is because I need a coffee loaded with caffeine to keep me awake on a long-haul flight. Other times, I'm sipping on a cup of coffee that's far too weak, leaving me to question what coffee I should order for a bolder taste. The meaning of the question of "what's the strongest coffee?" is up to interpretation, but I set out to find out the answer to every variation. Here's what to know about the strongest variation of coffee in every sense of the term.
What makes coffee strong?

On a technical level for coffee roasters, the strongest coffee can be defined as one with the highest dissolved solids, measured as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). In layman's terms, the more dissolved coffee grounds in a cup of coffee, the stronger it is. While this is important for manufacturing coffee, this is unlikely to mean much to the average coffee drinker. You're more likely just want to know how to brew the strongest, boldest cup imaginable and how to get the energy boost you need (especially if you've built up a caffeine tolerance like me).

FDA to update rules on what can be classified as ‘healthy’ coffee

What defines 'healthy' coffee?

Cup of coffee

As part of a recent ruling, the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced new guidelines that will go into effect on Feb. 25th. The new guidelines update food product labeling and content claims, affecting how coffee brands label products. One notable change to the guidelines allows coffee beverages- even those mixed with other ingredients- to be labeled as 'healthy' as long as they contain less than five calories per serving. The rule will go into effect automatically on the 25th and remain a part of mandatory compliance until February 28th, 2028.

According to the FDA, "Coffee drinks are one of the largest contributors to added sugars in Americans' diets. Nearly two-thirds of all energy from added sugars in the average American diet is coming from sugar-sweetened beverages, sweetened coffees, and teas, desserts and sweet snacks, and candies and sugars,” the proposed rule states. The new guidelines also suggest that the change to allow coffee and tea under five calories to qualify for "healthy" labeling "could expand consumer choice of beverages that help maintain a healthy dietary pattern within calorie limits." Although there may be a variety of "healthy" coffee products over five calories, these guidelines prohibit brands from using the word on packaging to avoid consumer confusion.
