Is Kopi Luwak "Coffee from Civet's Cat Poop" Healthy?

In my old blog, I've talked about the world's most expensive coffee as some sort of coffee from an animal's poop. Now let's talk why this Poop Coffee, or better known as Kopi Luwak (Civet's Coffee) tastes so incredibly delicious and has even become the world's number one coffee.



Arguably the most expensive coffee in the world, Kopi Luwak is coffee that has been allowed to pass through a Civet Cat’s digestive tract. After roasting it is then packaged and sold for as much as US$ 600 a pound to “discerning” (read as clinically insane) customers. Tasty, tasty bum coffee; isn’t Ass to Mouth a big no-no?

However, as is the case with all coffee, science has discovered that our favorite morning beverage can do wonders for your health. Coffee reduces the risk of an individual developing Type II Diabetes, significantly lowers the chances for developing Colon cancer, and even helps reduce the risk of Parkinson’s Disease. In this sense, Kopi Luwak is a healthy living winner, but you could probably just drink Folgers instead.
