is sodium aluminum silicate harmful in organo gold coffee
Research has shown a strong connection between aluminum and Alzheimer’s disease.
http://www.angelfire.com/az/sthurston/alzheimers_and_aluminum_toxicity.html
Based on this and other studies, I would say yes. Absolutely. Sodium aluminum silicate is harmful in any food product.
I would have to ask, do you use any salt? do you buy products with salt? if so you are consuming it anyway! In moderation,like most things it is safe and has been around since the beginning of time. there are a lot bigger hazardous to worry about being consumed at a much higher and damaging rate!
You are confusing the salt that we know as table salt with compounds scientifically known as salts.
Table salt is sodium chloride.
Not all “salts” are edible or safe.
My question is why is sodium aluminum silicate in the product in the first place?
That’s right, why is it there? Need to get a healthy coffee without it. This is available.
We have coffee with Ganoderma, the coffee tastes better, does not have Aluminum in it, and does not have vegetable fat in it. How can it be “healthy” with these questionable ingredients?
is this coffee good for weight lost
Absolutely. Coupled with a proper diet and good exercise, Ganoderma coffee can be very good for weight loss.
I have an Organo Gold package in fron of me and it has aluminum sodium silicate in it and Ganaderma. How can this be good or ok? Is there a caffeine free coffee with Ganaderma?
All of the ganoderma coffee I have seen have about the same amount of caffeine as regular coffee. The ganoderma helps neutralize some of the negative effects of the caffeine. Your best option for ganoderma coffee is from a company called SeneniGy.

How come you only posted about the coffee? How about its tea? Was this just a blog to try and sell a different type of gamoderma beverage? Thanks for the coffee information though. I’ll ask my biology and chemistry profs about this.
This blog is about mushroom coffee. There are two main types: Real brewed coffee with 14 mushrooms and instant ganoderma coffee.
OrGano Gold green tea is, I believe, certified organic.
Everybody should do researches before making any kind of statements. I check on http://www.PubMed.gov for scientif facts about it and i find a study from 1994 where they suggest the investigation of the possible use of silicates as a therapeutic agent in Alzheimers pacients. You can check the cientific study here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7972040 . The name of study is: Precipitation and characterization of an aluminosilicate from AlCl3-Na2SiO3-HCl in serum, of interest for Alzheimer disease.
There are studies that indicate a link to aluminum and Alzheimer’s.
Do you have information that is in plain English that does not require a PhD to understand?
The study mentioned by Nuno Andrade is investigating the use of sodium silicate to REMOVE aluminum from the patient! Al has for about 25 years been suspected of playing a role in CAUSING Alzheimers, and there are good reasons for this suspicion!
Decades ago I got rid of my Al cookware and antiperspirants containing Al.
Using an aluminum-containing ingredient in this product is completely unnecessary and unwelcome.
Where do the Mono and Diglycerides come from in the Cafe Latte?
Mono and triglycerides are used to prevent oils from separating. Not sure exactly where they rank with regard to being healthy. This article explains it well.

As to where these ingredients come from, you may want to contact OrGano Gold.
I just wanted to make sure they are not from pork as I have learned they can be.
Janice, I don’t eat pork either.
Is the Ganoderma lucidum extract obtained from the
Lingzhi or Reishi mushroom ?
Lingzhi and Reishi are the same thing.
Great & healthy coffee – also stabilizes the pH in the system – in-turn prevents cancer.
To Mr. Barry White, These Ganoderma products have to many Ingredients In them that are more harmful for your body than good. And plus If you stop and think about their main claim to the public population that coffee Is bad for you. Their Main product that they market Is an Instant Coffee beverage but Organo gold doesn’t tell you where their Instant Coffee Powder comes from or how It Is derived and processed. So basically you have no clue as to what you are actually consuming and putting Into your body. They also say It can treat diabetes but their products contain High Levels of Refined Sugar and many of the Ingredients turn Into sugar. This Is not healthy at all. I tried these products due to someone swearing by their health benefits. From my personal experience I was born premature with different Health Issues to this day one of them being Underweight and after drinking this Coffee & Hot Chocolate on a regular basis It caused me to loose even more weight In a short period of time that caused more severe Health problems for me and endangered my Lungs to which I have COPD at a very young age. So I say the risks outweigh any possible benefits In the long run.
Not all Ganoderma Coffee products are created equal. SereniGy makes products that are certified organic and contain ingredients that are both safe and from natural sources.
Tim, right on. I am now feeling sick after consuming a lot of the latte since November of 2012. I have to be tested to make sure it is not the coffee. Even my boss told me that he believes it is the coffee.. Because 1 1/2 months after consuming it, I started feeling sick.
is orgen better for you then milk
what r d side effects?
I am having problems now. My boss said my sudden nervous feelings were a result of the coffee. I started in mid November and started feeling sick in January and I am still feeling sick. I stopped drinking the coffee for about two weeks and started feeling better. I decided to try again. This time, I drank two cups of mocha. After having the second cup, I began feeling nervous, week and felt faint. I knew then it was the coffee. I am still not feeling well and have to go get tested to see if aluminum is in my system.
STAY AWAY from OG. It is NOT about health, but it is about Wealth and only a few at the top will be wealthy.
by the way, the coffee is not kosher. I contacted OG and told them to have their reps to stop spreading the lie, saying it is. Only the green tea and black tea are Kosher beverages. The kosher symbol will be on a kosher beverage. OG confirmed this.
and what type of mushroom iS it made offf
These products have even more ingredients that are harder on the body than just coffee! They are high in refined sugar – glucose, oh look, another sugar – mono and diglycerides and look another sugar – sugar skim milk powder, oh and another – malt extract. It has cow dairy or an artificial chemical instead of cow dairy, has “instant” coffee powder – who knows how that is derived & let’s just add aluminum – a heavy metal!! Know what you are injesting and selling and you’re better off drinking coffee. You’d have to use a garbage pail load of reishi mushroom [ganoderma] to compensate for all of the above! The bottom line is, coffee is not meant to be used on a regular basis – period! You need to face the facts!
