One cup of coffee before 4 pm? - total blunder. I do not know why so many people follow this guy on Instagram. Half his content is lame jokes featuring two imaginary people named Saravana Kumar and Arockiasamy and the rest of it is poorly researched, vaguely discussed medical content that misleads & misinforms and in many videos he just randomly throws jargons like "gut health" and "fasting." See this video for instance. Dr. Pal says coffee is not good for the liver because there is no "good evidence" for it. And talks about polysaccharides in coffee that gets converted to short chain fatty acids that improve gut health. He then finally suggests that one cup of coffee before 4PM is good enough and prevents "further adverse effects of coffee." This man is dangerously peddling misinformation on a well studied and documented dietary intervention that spans decades - and in the form of large scale epidemiological studies and metanalysis of such studies, featuring more than 600,000 patients across the world. First, coffee related polysaccharides DOES NOT improve "gut health" - this has been shown in multiple studies from 2007 to 2018. The change of polysaccharides in coffee to short chain fatty acids is negligible and the effect of that on gut bacteria is also not signficant. "The growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli (good bacteria) was not stimulated by coffee - "However, caffeine and chlorogenic acid partially improved the disrupted short-chain fatty acid profile in mice, although coffee had no effects." - It is not polysaccharides, but the polyenols in coffee that is beneficial for the liver. This is independent of caffeine content and hence decaff is also healthy option for the liver. See here: In 2016 and 2017 the Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee in association with the British Liver Trust published a report that concluded that: - Regularly drinking moderate amounts of coffee may prevent liver cancer – which was reviewed by WHO and confirmed this reduced risk after reviewing more than 1,000 studies in humans - Coffee also lowers the risk of other liver conditions including fibrosis (scar tissue that builds up within the liver) and cirrhosis - Drinking coffee can slow the progression of liver disease in some patients - Beneficial effects have been found however the coffee is prepared – filtered, instant and espresso See here: In 2021, A large epidemiological study based on data from the UK Biobank in 384,818 people showed that all coffee types decrease the risk of adverse clinical outcomes in chronic liver disease. See here: In 2022, a nationally representative study from the USA showed in 4510 subjects, 20 years and older showed that coffee intake was associated with lower liver stiffness (scarring). See here: In 2023, the Canadian Liver Foundation noted in their release that one cup of black coffee a day could lower the risk of chronic liver disease by 15 per cent. About three to four cups a day can reduce the risk to 71 per cent - so the recommendation is at least 3 cups of black coffee without sugar & milk daily. The experts said that: “The great thing is it doesn’t really matter what way the coffee’s prepared. It can be decaf; it can be caffeinated. It can also be drip, French press, espresso, filtered, (and) instant. All the ways (show) that black coffee is effective for liver health.” See here: The American Liver Foundation advises including coffee in your diet to improve clinical outcomes in patients with fatty liver disease. See here: To avoid reductions in total sleep time, the last cup of coffee (the third cup, ideally 150ml in Indian standard) should be consumed at least 8 hours prior to bedtime. See here: These are just scratching the surface of evidence on benefits of coffee on the liver. And there is lack of evidence? What the mind does not know, the eyes cannot see. One cup of coffee before 4 PM? So lame. What is worse than pseudoscientific garbage like Homeopathy? - Legit doctors without a scientific temperament who misinform consistently. A legit bigger pain in the a** than Ayurveda and Homeopathy. Disclosure: I do not own stocks in any coffee company and have no involvement with the coffee industry and do not receive payments or honorarium from coffee industry stakeholders.

Kabushenga’s Thoughts Another Coffee Milestone It is now the story of my life’s current season. And we have another reason to celebrate our RugyeyoFarmLtd Coffee. But first, gratitude to you all. Last week I put out a straw poll on my socials to gauge preference for the designs of our coffee packaging. The response has been as engaged as it has been dynamic, even passionate. You didn’t just choose, you justified your preference. Aspects of the branding rationale I had not even thought about. It was rewarding to read your responses but most importantly it was humbling to see how invested you are in our Rugyeyo Coffee journey. You want us to succeed. You want to see it work. We will make it work. This engagement created clarity. Now we will make adjustments to the designs and prepare for the market. This conversation convinced us about the direction we are going to take in 2027. Our coffee will be available for sale to final consumers on a commercial scale. The plan is to craft 5 tons of our October harvest into a fine robusta for processing & packaging. And then sell it as ready to drink coffee. We should go to market with the first batch in January 2027. It will be a medium roast that can do mainly espresso but also long blacks. A chance for Ugandans to enjoy an organic home brew. There is another reason we are confident about the quality of our product and why we are barnstorming in this direction. After taking our coffee to the London & Manchester Coffee Festivals in 2025, we were invited to submit samples to the UK’s Guild of Fine Foods for scoring and rating. The evaluation focuses strictly on taste through rigorous blind tastings by a panel of over 500 culinary experts, including chefs, food critics, buyers, and writers. Products are stripped of all branding and packaging to ensure complete impartiality. Instead of numerical points, products receive a score ranging from zero to three stars. Roughly only 35% to 40% of all annual entries receive any stars at all, making it a definitive stamp of quality Rugyeyo Farm Coffee scored a star. I wish I had sent our very best beans. The sample I sent was all I had at the time, not necessarily the best. But now I know that our product is premium and properly crafted will deliver a world class coffee experience. We are ready to go. In five to ten years we will have a reason to celebrate our coffee family tradition that started in 1954.

Can we please talk about the Hyde Hotel in Rosebank… my new favourite stay-over stop for a trip to Jozi town🔌 I walked into the hotel’s front door framed by purple jacaranda trees in bloom, and the funkiest beat was playing, the coffee machines were buzzing, and the staff greeted me in the trendiest hotel wear I had seen in a long time. Instantly, I was energised by the atmosphere and vibe, reminding me once again that Jozi is one of those cities you have to feel to understand, and The Hyde Hotel is precisely that. The club-like atmosphere I felt when walking through the door was no mistake - I later discovered that this hotel brand was set in the LA nightclub scene and was later converted into a hotel. The brand is deeply connected to music, and the festival vibes are exactly what they want you to experience. There is art adorning almost every wall, and I loved learning that every piece was designed by women in South Africa. Besides the art and banging playlist through the common areas, this hotel plugs every pain point of the Joburg traveller in the coolest way. My personal favourite is the multi-level gym. The finishes and equipment could stand in London’s bouquet of on-trend, boutique gyms. As someone who likes to work out while travelling, I can basically do my entire back-home routine in one building. I was the MC at a property launch that evening, so before I headed out, using the printer for my speech at the in-house co-working space was such a win. Hotel guests have complimentary access to a designated area of Workshop17 to work. Proud Mary is the restaurant that graces the ground floor, and it hums. This hotel is the perfect blend of busy, business and seriously cool energy. This is the first Hyde Hotel on the African continent, and there are 9 worldwide. The 24HR coffee bar is a nice touch, and on some weekends, you can catch a live DJ here when running clubs like The Pack or WRC end their run. Coming from the airport via the Gautrain? Simply WhatsApp the hotel your arrival time at Rosebank station, and they will come collect you in a golf cart - free of charge - for a lift to the hotel. Quick room review: they are HUGE! The high ceilings feature an edgy industrial concrete finish. The rooms have exceptional height - room volume like this is rare nowadays. I adore a handwritten note on arrival, and the Le Creuset mugs add a modern touch. LOVE the large SONY speaker. I also really appreciate that the toilet is in a separate room from the shower. Lastly, you can enter the NPF tasting room via the hotel and choose from over 1,500 whiskeys, mezcals, and other spirits to taste-bud-test, a fun touch. This building used to be the old FNB bank building (hence the building’s name today, The Bank). The building was then redeveloped, increasing its height from 6 to 13 floors. Today, the building consists of commercial space, a gym, Workshop17, the restaurant and the hotel. The new speakeasy restaurant opens this week between the 4th and 5th floors. Sometimes people assume that business travel means staying at a stiff corporate hotel, but that's not the case. It's trendy, inviting, and it’s got groove.
