Tim Hortons Coffee Drinkers!!

[Shaun_300]

I got this in an email tonight, unbelievable!



To all Tim Horton coffee drinkers....I always wondered why everybody was so stuck on Tim Horton coffee.

A man from Arkansas came up to Canada for a visit only to find himself in the hospital after a couple of days. Doctors told him that he had suffered of cardiac arrest. He was allergic to nicotine. The man did not understand why that would of happen as he does not smoke knowing full well he was allergic to Nicotine. He told the doctor that he had not done anything different while he was on vacation other than having Tim Horton's coffee. The man then went back to Tim Horton's and asked what was in their coffee. Tim Horton's refuses to divulge that information.

After threatening legal action, Tim Horton's finally admitted..... THERE IS NICOTINE IN TIM HORTON'S COFFEE.

A girl I know was on the patch to quit smoking. After a couple of days she was having chest pains and was rushed to the hospital. The doctor told her that she was on a Nicotine overload. She swore up & down that she had not been smoking. SHE WAS HAVING HER COFFEE EVERY MORNING.

Now imagine a woman who quits smoking because she finds out that she is pregnant, but still likes to have her Tim Horton's once in a while?!?!?

THIS IS NOT A JOKE, PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG.... YOU MIGHT SEE THIS ON THE NEWS SOON.

This foolish piece of scaremongering has now been circulating for several years. During 2006, a new version began hitting email in-boxes.

The message claims that Canadian coffee and doughnut chain, Tim Hortons, adds nicotine to its coffee and that patrons have suffered serious health problems as a result. However, these claims are totally unfounded. Tim Hortons does not add nicotine to its coffee nor has it ever done so.

Tim Hortons denies the rumour in a statement on its website: http://www.timhortons.com/en/menu/menu_faqs.html#four

Tim Hortons would like to clearly state that there is absolutely NO nicotine or MSG in our coffee. Tim Hortons coffee has NO ADDITIVES whatsoever. It is made only from a blend of the highest quality premium Arabica beans from several different coffee growing countries.

Furthermore, a 2004 investigation by CBC News confirmed the Tim Hortons statement. CBC had samples of Tim Hortons coffee independently tested. These tests revealed that Tim Hortons coffee had no measurable amount of nicotine. They also revealed that Tim Hortons coffee generally has less caffeine than that sold by Second Cup or Starbucks.

In any case, Canada's food products regulator, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, certainly does not allow nicotine to be added to foods. The agency has defined a list of substances that are allowed to be added to food, and, not surprisingly, nicotine is not among them.

The message advises recipients that they might soon see this information on the news. However, there is no logic to this claim. If Tim Hortons was really adding a dangerous substance such as nicotine to its coffee, it would already be a major news story. The mainstream media would certainly not sit back and let such a sensational story travel solely by way of a poorly written email forward.

Thus, this bogus warning has absolutely no basis in fact and it should not be forwarded.
