November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Instant coffee is dried and dehydrated through freezing leaving behind soluble granules containing the compounds of brewed coffee.  Hence, unlike regular coffee, you simply add water to instant coffee.  Supposedly the flavor is milder than regular coffee.  A carefully brewed regular coffee is said to have a stronger, sweeter flavor.  But unless one is a coffee connoisseur (or let’s say a coffee addict, lol), such a difference is negligible.  Rather, a normal coffee drinker would prefer instant coffee.   Regular coffee is generally used in coffee making machines (also referred to as “filtered” coffee).  The difference between the two is only in regard to antioxidants which isn’t an important issue.  As far as I know, instant coffee is higher in antioxidants.  But then again, we can get antioxidants from fruits and veggies too.  So no need to get hung up on that.  The real problem is the presence of acrylamide that comes from roasting.

Difference in terms of health n safety?   Again, unfortunately very little Sad  In fact, instant coffee which is far more commonly purchased by households contains greater quantity of acrylamide. Studies show level of acrylamide in instant coffee approximately 358 microg/kg  and in roasted coffee 179 microg/kg.   Yet it leads us nowhere. 

The only conclusion we can arrive at :  Workplace exposure to large amounts of acrylamide can cause nerve damage.  It can cause cancer in animals in very high doses.  But they are still not sure how little or how much is safe for human consumption on a daily basis.  .  But even if those guys touted a “safe” amount, it would basically be a presumption which could be retracted any time in future.  Accurate facts on such issues are only known to Allah Almighty alone, none else.
 
Studies in animals have quite consistently shown that acrylamide causes cancer when eaten.  But the doses given to animals have been 1000–100,000 times larger than the amounts humans are exposed to through diet (cruel for the poor animals, isn’t it?).  Moreover, it has also been observed that the chemical process (metabolism) of this substance within the human body differs compared to animals.  Metabolism may also differ from person to person in humans.   But there isn’t sufficient research to confirm the precise safety level of acrylamide for humans through food nor its exact safety status.   Studies conducted have been few and their results inconsistent.

Thus the coffee-panic because latte lovers have at least 4 or 5 cups daily.   In my opinion, on the safer side, they better cut it down to two cups .. be it instant coffee or regular.   Or simply switch to tea.
