Gary Brecka(@thegarybrecka):Your morning coffee might come with something you never knew was there. Coffee goes through harvesting, drying, storage, and transportation before it ever reaches your cup. And when moisture and storage conditions aren't properly controlled, mold can grow and produce toxins called mycotoxins. One review of over 3,000 coffee samples reported detecting ochratoxin A, a type of mycotoxin, in more than half of the samples tested. That doesn't mean every cup is unsafe, but it does raise an important question about how your coffee is sourced, tested, and handled.
