I have just started the keto/carnivore thing and Dr. Cywes' videos have been a great help. However, I am a skeptic by nature. I got through about 25 of Dr. Cwyes' videos until I started to seeing the ads for the exogenic ketones product. For me, any time there is a "product" associated with info, I raise an eyebrow. When I see "Coffee is great for you" info being shared by the owner of a coffee company, I have an auto reaction that I have to try hard to ignore. Follow the dollar has always been my mantra. Still, I have learned so much for Dr. Cywes that I am willing to go along.
Wow. I remember the good old days when my grandparents grew their own fruits and vegetables, raised and processed all their meats and dairy, and made molasses and jellies. Ate varities of foods. They smoked pipes, chewed tobacco, walked miles, split wood, ploughed and logged with horses and mules. Stitched themselves up if need be, set bones and never hardly ever got sick. They lived to early 90's. Now a days we buy our food and walk to bed, to toilet, to fridge, to car, to easy work and back again. No wonder we're a nation of sick folks.
I'm 63 years old...my grandmother started me on coffee at the age of 12😅 Big coffee drinker all my life till a few years ago when a TH-cam post by Paul Saladino convinced me that it's really bad for you...I switched to tea and I was okay with that but now...after years without...I'm back onto the coffee thing. So this information is "right on time" for me. 😅
Coffee is loaded w/ antioxidants & polyphenols but rather than sweeten w a nasty toxic pink yellow or blue, use allulose & heavy cream, & a splash of half & half, now you have a gourmet cup of very healthy coffee that will help in weight loss since you need fat to lose fat & can add Ceylon Cinnamon if having w carbs (preferably low carbs!🎉
Coffee is not just one ingredient and water. In coffee, there are thousands of chemical compounds foreign to our bodies and I am quite certain, that many of them are antinutrients (including caffeine) for our metabolism in the same way as it is with all other seeds. Many people can handle it, but some of us do not. I personally have quite low tolerance for coffee with obvious symptoms like headaches and heart palpitations.
I was in the hospital due to a TIA last week. They wouldn't allow me to get a caffeinated coffee or hamburger (they substituted a veggie burger!) but allowed me to order any carbs and sugary snacks on the hospital menu.
If I could moderate my coffee intake….Very addictive for me. I quit coffee over 2 months ago to see of it would help my anxiety and sleep. I actually get sleepy at the right times now. I have been carnivore for 3 years 5 months. And coffee is a seed. A plant. And addictive. I cant do addictive substances.
During my pregnancies, as happens to most women, my food preference changed radically. Despite popular opinion, I continued to drink my glorious freshly brewed espressos at mid morning and early evening. It made me happy. Both my now adult children are not coffee drinkers! Love your content Dr C, currently following you from darkest Peru.
My idea is that the worst thing for pregnancy is leaky gut! Even something healthy can can harm because your sink is leaking. If I tell you why then I know you will weap. Theory: gluten and fructose damage the gut lining. Emulsifiers dissolve the protective mucus layer. 🙏We learn by mistakes 🙏
Thank you for such a delightful guest. OH, this is like opening a Christmas gift in March. Incredible: more evidence of the joys of coffee! Coffee trees also make huge, glossy house plants with beautiful red coffee berries. (Dr. Cywes you should have one on your Florida patio.) Save the spent grounds for fertilizing your indoor and outdoor plants too. A perfect plant.
I love hearing that caffeine is okay for AFIB Patients, I was told to avoid coffee so I did for a while then read that caffeine is okay so I do enjoy a cup or two every day and now I maybe will enjoy 3 cups, hurrah! Great conversation, thanks!
I am a carnivore that when I drink coffee it is cold and I like a cup of half and half with a dash of black coffee for flavor. It just makes the milk taste more interesting.
What a great discussion! Being carnivore for 6 years plus I have heard all of the pros and cons of coffee. I personally drink 3-4 cups a day and could not imagine my life without it. Thank you gents for a great video!
What coffee lover wouldn't enjoy this episode? I have quit coffee various times over the years -- once for an entire year -- and every time I swear I'll never stop drinking it. It is one of the items that brings quality to my life 🤷 Now I'm going to check out his podcast!
I agree! Coffee is a wonderful me time break. I do think that stopping the coffee habit can be a great way to make sure it is a " mindful" enjoyment rather than an addicting caffeine/sugar rush through the day thing. I totally think a break off here and there helps us realize how good things are when we add them back! Thanks.
I've always loved coffee. Been drinking it since I was about 8 years old growing up in Brazil. My issue with it now is that I get a histamine reaction if I have more than one cup a day. The morning cup is ok, but if I have another one in the afternoon, I get itchy skin. I will order Dr. Thomas' coffee and try it out. It sounds very good. A promotional discount code would have been nice. Postdate: My Umble coffee came last night. I've just had my first cup this morning and it's excellent. Very smooth and mild. Congrats to Dr. Thomas for coming up with a great coffee product.
I've been asthmatic all my life. ICu, pneumonia kinda asthma when badly triggered. Many times ..medicinal coffee, has made the difference between making it thru vs Hosp. ! Thank you Lord 🙏🏼💃😋
The gentleman from the great state of Mississippi confirmed what I suspected. Black coffee is one if not the healthiest drink. My dad literally gave me a small cup of black coffee in the morning so could drink it with him before he went to work. I'm close to sixty-nine now. Later in life,the only negative effect I get from a couple cups is, I have to urinate more frequently for a short period of time.
Awesome to hear Dr. Thomas. YES. I noticed long ago that the best bold dark espresso I make has almost a sweet flavor -- even when black. Great to know the health benefits are higher. And poor quality coffee is always bitter no matter how it is brewed or how much it costs.
im not a coffee person but coffee helped curb a craving today . ive always heard our good Dr talk about a zero calorie bridge but never minded it but today it was my saviour and im grateful
Once again Dr. Cywes, thank you, thank you. I love my coffee and I drink decaf because I had heard caffeine interferes with nutrient absorption and I have problems staying asleep at night.

Bless you both for the wonderful news!!!! I tried giving up coffee and caffeine last week and felt horrible. I had seen lots of people talk about benefits of giving it up so I tried. I was so fatigued and just blah! I have my favorite brand in multiple flavors and because I didn’t want the scrumptious brew to go to waste, I decided this week to have a cup and WHOA! I feel a thousand times better this week!! Thank you for this video!❤
Don't stop cold turkey. Those are withdrawal symptoms. Get some instant coffee and caffeine free instant coffee. Then slowly add more caffeine free coffee to your cup while slowly removing the caffeine instant coffee...
As a coffee drinker, and carnivore, I learned a lot. But anybody who's been cv for a while knows, there are small differences to how our bodies responds, and some people definitely responds differently to both caffeine and coffee. Maybe also to the bean itself or the roasting process. It was an interesting interview. Thank you. Coffee might be my next rabbithole for accumulating more facts 😊
My problem with coffee is that it contains tannins that block the absorption of iron and even has a negative impact on iron stores. That means, that even if you don't drink it around mealtime, it may reduce the levels of iron in your body. This happened to me personally. I love the taste of coffee, but I have to drink it mindfully. This simply means that I have to make sure to consume iron-rich foods the day after drinking coffee, or take an iron supplement. Everyone goes on about caffeine, but coffee, like many plant products contains antinutrients. That does not mean that we have to avoid it at all costs, but just that we need to be aware of the possible effects in order to reduce or counteract them.
“Coffee has all the value without any liability” I dunno…this one might be just to two coffee addicts affirming each other’s addiction🤷🏽♂️ I’m definitely gonna dig more on coffee. Thanks for the information and ideas🙏🏽
Ben Bikman pointed out that theobromine is found in coffee and is metabolized similarly to fructose. Gout on his ear went away when he stopped drinking Yerba Maté, which also contains theobromine.
I gave up my coffee 3 mnths ago. Felt horrible for 3 days. Day 4 I could function again. Now I take some sips from my family. Honestly… I don’t feel any difference but someone said that if I steuggle with my adrenals (which I do) I should stop the coffee . I used to drink with a little bit of cream. I can’t do black coffee!
My push-back re Starbucks: i order 2 shots espresso with a half tablespoon cream, no sugar, at $2.25 , Albany, OR. It's my occasional afternoon pickup & delight after daily 14 hour fast.
I enjoy drinking black coffee and I like to hear good reasons to enjoy coffee. I do need to study how drinking coffee effects bone health/ osteoporosis.
As a 12 year iatrogenic stroke survivor who drinks coffee with coconut oil daily I feel these two gentlemen are right on the mark as evidenced by my own long experience I began the daily coffee program because of a longstanding coffee habit established during nursing school in the 1980’s. When I was often told to try to cut back by well meaning colleagues but somehow I always felt it was really one of the best things I did for myself. And here I still am! Thanks to the Doctors for this Illuminating talk!
I've noticed the shift in my behavior towards coffee everytime I restarted my Keto journey I'm 40kg away from my starting weight and that's mainly due to the poaitive effects you had on my life. Thank you.
I find that certain coffee blend’s definitely increase my reflux, but I absolutely can attest that eliminating sugar has GREATLY reduced my reflux and going carnivore allowed me to cut my prescription (pantoprazole) in half TWICE (from 40mg BID to 20 mg SID). Reflux still there a bit but may be due to dairy, and low quality coffee. I found a good brand but it is inconsistent. Need to try umble!!
I can’t believe so many of us don’t accept coffee isn’t good for us. How can headaches and body aches caused by and the withdrawal of coffee be good for you. I love coffee but I’m not saying it’s good for you
Caffeine and blood sugar. Dr. M. Regina Castro, M.D. at the Mayo Clinic stated on the Mayo Clinic website that caffeine affects every person differently. She also said that if you have diabetes or you're struggling to control your blood sugar levels, limiting the amount of caffeine in your diet may provide a benefit. Now I'm confused on whether I should give up my life long coffee habit?
I’m a Type 1 Diabetic and can confirm that black coffee DOES raise my blood sugar significantly. Not sure the exact mechanisms, but it’s something along the lines of coffee stimulates cortisol production which tells the liver to make sugar and release it into the bloodstream for our flight/flight response. Hope this helps✌🏽
I don't add sugar to my coffee and it always seem to affect LPR. Doesn't necessarily give me heartburn from GERD, but I often start to cough. I do drink swiss water decaf because I am sensitive to the caffeine.
I agree on the bias, but I still learned a lot... I'm biased as well, as I experience some benefits on my own body. I do doubt, Chaffee is the right person to debate on coffee, as he has never been a coffee drinker.
@𝗖in𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 agree👍 And btw I'm biased as well..... I'm heavy coffee drinker so anything positive about coffee makes me feel good.... but I still don't wanna make my addiction call the wrong shots about possible bad outcome for my health....
I’m barely 4 minutes in to this and love it already! I always felt that my body needed coffee not like addiction but like it was healthy for me and my health issues from mold, tick diseases & eating plants…
Coffee is really a medicine, not to be taken on a regular basis. Coffee is great if you're not relying on it for your functionality - otherwise it's just another snicky addiction. Some metaphysically inclined people see that coffee borrows energy from person's own future. And it's high in histamine, and it can even cause loss of consciousness !! Oy!
I am LMHR ketovore and I love coffee. But I quickly realised that caffeinated coffee causes me palpitations (resting HR >90bpm😮). I have low inflammation and very low body fat so increasing my metabolism with caffeine through the stimulation of HPA axis was counterproductive for me. So I currently take decaffeinated coffee with butter or double cream and my resting HR is < 75bpm.
Being here in Colombia and Venezuela coffee is a big part of the culture. Dark, fresh, great. Honestly I can take it or leave it, but I do like a couple caffeine tablets as a pre-workout about an hour before a heavy high intensity resistance training. Funny but most medications are derived from plant compounds.
@@atticushexcel9567 Really? I give a fly flip how many people and which country. Please read what I wrote. Where did I ever say anything about the USA coffee consumption????? Never said anything about American coffee culture. USA is one of the best consumer / buyer markets for foreign sugar, coffee, avocados, fentanyl, meth,...they were a major buyer of marijuana but now grow most of their own. Global world.
As for myself, I have had 3 full term pregnancies. All 3 times I lost my taste for coffee. With the latter two pregnancies it included tea. In the beginning of my pregnancies the smell of coffee made me nauseous. Now I like coffee but once in a while do not drink it. 0:09 This is many years later. Two of my adult children drink coffee -small amounts and one does not.
Coffee has fewer oxalates than tea. I’ve always been a tea drinker. My new meat-based low carb lifestyle has made me very aware of my caffeine sensitivity. If I drink tea past 2pm difficulties with staying asleep ensue. Caffeine has a half life of 12 hours.
I boil my coffee similar to "Cowboy Coffee" or Middle Eastern techniques with no filters. My "coffeepot" is a one-quart Corning M68-B double-spout saucepan. Fascinating discussion!
Dr what is the truth about pesticides on coffee? I am carnivore for 10 weeks and burst out in tears when I heard that Im not aloud coffee because it is full of pesticides. 20:14
Thank you for the info! IMO, the benefits of coffee maybe bring destroyed by the plastic cups we are quickly brewing. The plastic is questionable to health after running hot acid through it. Grounds or fresh beans brewed beautifully is amazing!
This was a great topic to address! We have roasted coffee beans in the past and their’s nothing quite as sweet as the smell of fresh roasted coffee. After we burnt out three roasters, we decided if we were to continue the practice we needed to invest in the higher dollar roasters. Will definitely check out Umble Coffee company. ❤
Once read correlation between increase coffee consumption and pancreatic cancer. Also, there was a Harvard study about 25yrs old that made a connection between increased consumption consumption and rise in pancreatic cancer.
I love coffee but unfortunately coffee doesn't seem to like me. I am pretty sure that coffee causes inflammation in my knees, in spite of what the 2 doctors claim. The content of this video was interesting and fun to hear, but it really lacked any detail on the science. Dr. Thomas's comments may have been based on science but this video was not a deep dive into it. I'm really grasping for data/info that might cause me to change my opinion about my coffee inflammation but it just isn't here. Dang. I have eliminated coffee in the past and seen radical improvement in my knees. However, when I reintroduced coffee, it went in the other direction. In fairness, I eliminated a lot of other things from my diet at the same time - actually everything but meat, fat and eggs - and when I reintroduced I also started eating nuts again, especially almonds which are high in oxalates that can cause inflammation. So I'm holding out hope that it's the nuts and not the coffee. I'm two weeks into eliminating both and plan to reintroduce coffee by itself as soon as my knees improve, which has already started after just 2 weeks. FWIW, I'm not coffee sensitive and I prefer my coffee black, bold and thick.
Hi Dr. Cywes... Love your channel! Quick question...Does adding butter to your coffee raise your triglycerides? Mine went from 78 to 150 in the last month. When I tested my lipids i drank butter coffee around 11 hours before . I'm thinking I just didn't wait long enough before testing?
Dear Dr Cywes, you are a God send. I sent you an email, but in case you don’t see it: Is coffee ok if you have LPR, not just standard acid reflux? Would a keto diet fix the LPR, and you can still tolerate coffee along the way? I personally don’t have it but I’m genuinely curious because of all the stuff I’ve read. Thank you!
I love LifeBoost (beyond organic) coffee! It’s expensive. I buy the beans and fresh grind them. Then I cold brew. Reheat for steaming coffee and pour in milk & cream for an iced latte. I put coffee syrups in sometimes. It’s delicious black. It makes awesome hot brewed coffee too. Low acid. The decaf is just as good! (caffeine bothers me often) I don’t sell it or have a vested interest, nope. Nor do I know the ppl who do lol ☕️
There is nothing better than the Starbucks Italian roast for my espresso in the morning. Anything lighter roasted coffee is so sour it is ridiculous. My brother worked at Starbucks in 1976 through the 90's. There is so much more to it than just the quality of the bean. The temp, brew speed, and grind has a huge impact. Go to Italy, you can learn how a real espresso and coffee should taste.
Any studies about coffee as part of a poly-pharma picture? What other elements in coffee are people sensitive to eg cafesol’s impact for some on raising triglycerides?
Coffee: Medically speaking, does black coffee (or even coffee with heavy cream - no carbs) break a persons fast when they are doing intermittent fasting? Some sources say that even black coffee will break your fast (i disagree based on my research) but I wanted to see if you've seen medical studies that prove this one way or the other (and if coffee is ok, is heavy cream also ok?). Thanks!
Does Dr Kenneth Thomas have any scientific research papers and valid experiments to back up his claims? Please reference them, I would love to show the research/papers for his theory to all the naysayers against coffee.
Forget about creating a new coffee product that everyone can drink because there’s no such of thing, people gonna find out the good bad and ugly lately, let coffee be coffee and that’s it
1:02:15 Can you confirm? I've never heard of pure Stevia having a glycemic impact. Not even Truvia which is a Stevia/Erythritol blend. These seem much better than Splenda which has been linked to negative impacts on gut flora.
Lots of interesting points but I have to push back on "All disease is inflammation. " Inflammation is a function of the immune system. It itself is not disease.
I moved recently from eastern Europe to USA. What surprises me the most, when I am shopping for coffee here in America, there is no date of roasting on coffee packages (It usually has the date of expiration). How can I find out WHEN the coffee was roasted? I want to make sure my coffee stayed on the shelf no more than three months since it was roasted. Is it possible to find it?
I like to see more detailed studies on circulation, skin quality and health. My hands and feet crack on coffee. They dry out and this is with 2 cups a day. Or one shot of espresso. It takes about 5 days for cracks and dryness to clear up. Then in a day or two on it, it shows up again. Maybe not cracks but my hand, feet and eyes dry out. I'm sure there's an underlying thing someone would say. Other commenters replied back to me said a similar thing with circulation, neuropathy and diabetes. Too much coffee hurts their blood sugar reactions insulin response. I bet it's related to hair loss too, i'm a bit thin on top. But it's too soon to say for sure. I think the billion dollar industry would be devastated if a coffee roaster said it was not so good for you. And the studies as well. Just criticizing it as sugar and cholesterol was criticized with devastating effects. In one direction or the other. Pro/con mixed with collusion/lobbying Keep these coming
I’m pretty sure it does raise cortisol levels. In addition to raising epinephrine and norepinephrine hormones as well. I’m a type 1 diabetic and if I drink a black coffee my blood sugar rises. I’ve been told it’s because the three hormones I mentioned above communicates to my liver to create sugar and release it into the bloodstream.
I have already have up coffee and diet Pepsi 4weeks ago! Thinking it was bad for u! So now it's not! But if I don't have any problems I'll just stay off of it!
Sugar/carbs causes reflux for me. I drink coffee every morning and it never causes reflux. Maybe if I drank it at night. It’s only when i consume sugar/carbs that i get reflux. Sugar/carbs also give me gas. Coffee does make me regular for sure.
Urban legend. Most reputable coffee roasters use a processing and roasting process that ensures the coffee is mold free. Buying "mold-free" coffee is a marketing gimik.
I get more anxious listening to the naysayers than from drinking my one cup of half caffeine with cream and butter. It’s my dessert, not interested in quitting.
@@barblacy619 your comment is weird, why would you share what you are interested in that way? It's kind of defensive and seems something is triggering you :) As for you you can drink your wee. I wish you find ways to deal with you anxiety. Best wishes

Actually coffee is low in oxalates. It has been measured and Sally K Norton wrote about it on her blog. Black and green tea have way more oxalates. Yes in the mycotoxins and I since it’s a seed, phytic acid. But maybe the roasting and brewing process reduces some of the phytates. These are all relevant concerns.

My wife and I have experienced benefits from quiting coffee. We are both over 4 years carnivore. Quit coffee nearly 3 months ago.

I dunno…this one might be just to two coffee addicts affirming each other’s addiction🤷🏽♂️ I’m definitely gonna dig more on coffee. Thanks for the information and ideas🙏🏽
Ben Bikman pointed out that theobromine is found in coffee and is metabolized similarly to fructose. Gout on his ear went away when he stopped drinking Yerba Maté, which also contains theobromine.
Dr Thomas discusses this in his coffee101 podcast
There’s also the issue of diterpines such as Cafestol.
Listening as I enjoy my first cup of the morning 😊 I love my heavy cream with it but not too much ♥️
I am now having about 500 calories with my coffee for the first 2 cups. Heavy cream to keep up with weight. Carnivore for 9 months
I support an orphan, once a month at Living Hope in Zambia. Thanks for your support too!! They are great!! I've learned so much today from you!!
I gave up my coffee 3 mnths ago. Felt horrible for 3 days. Day 4 I could function again. Now I take some sips from my family. Honestly… I don’t feel any difference but someone said that if I steuggle with my adrenals (which I do) I should stop the coffee . I used to drink with a little bit of cream. I can’t do black coffee!
My push-back re Starbucks: i order 2 shots espresso with a half tablespoon cream, no sugar, at $2.25 , Albany, OR. It's my occasional afternoon pickup & delight after daily 14 hour fast.
I enjoy drinking black coffee and I like to hear good reasons to enjoy coffee. I do need to study how drinking coffee effects bone health/ osteoporosis.
It doesnt affect bones per Dr Thomas
Problem is coffee beans are the most pesticide sprayed crop
Depends on region
So, a doctor who sells coffee swears that it's heathy. Imagine my surprise. 🤣🤣
My drugs dealer used to tell me all his drugs were top notch in safety 😂.
I do like him and he has said that he loves coffee in earlier talks, but yes: It's always a bit disappointing when they start flogging something.
I found many of his replies very nebulous and his medical knowledge/proofs seemed lightweight at best
As a 12 year iatrogenic stroke survivor who drinks coffee with coconut oil daily I feel these two gentlemen are right on the mark as evidenced by my own long experience I began the daily coffee program because of a longstanding coffee habit established during nursing school in the 1980’s. When I was often told to try to cut back by well meaning colleagues but somehow I always felt it was really one of the best things I did for myself. And here I still am! Thanks to the Doctors for this Illuminating talk!
Like my spouse....strong and creamy...
38:27 "'Im never gonna die!"... 🤣🤣 Love the humour, and the content Doc 👏👏
I've noticed the shift in my behavior towards coffee everytime I restarted my Keto journey I'm 40kg away from my starting weight and that's mainly due to the poaitive effects you had on my life.
Thank you.
If I drink too much coffee or drink it too close to bedtime I definitely have problems with heartburn during the night.
I find that certain coffee blend’s definitely increase my reflux, but I absolutely can attest that eliminating sugar has GREATLY reduced my reflux and going carnivore allowed me to cut my prescription (pantoprazole) in half TWICE (from 40mg BID to 20 mg SID). Reflux still there a bit but may be due to dairy, and low quality coffee. I found a good brand but it is inconsistent. Need to try umble!!
I love this video so much I’m going to listen to it a second time. Tickled pink about the goodness of coffee.
I can’t believe so many of us don’t accept coffee isn’t good for us. How can headaches and body aches caused by and the withdrawal of coffee be good for you.
I love coffee but I’m not saying it’s good for you
I put a small amount of baking soda to lower the PH of the coffee. It’s easier on the stomach
Interesting… just a pinch or more?
Yes, About the size of a small aspirin.
Try redmond salt.
Caffeine and blood sugar. Dr. M. Regina Castro, M.D. at the Mayo Clinic stated on the Mayo Clinic website that caffeine affects every person differently. She also said that if you have diabetes or you're struggling to control your blood sugar levels, limiting the amount of caffeine in your diet may provide a benefit. Now I'm confused on whether I should give up my life long coffee habit?
I’m a Type 1 Diabetic and can confirm that black coffee DOES raise my blood sugar significantly. Not sure the exact mechanisms, but it’s something along the lines of coffee stimulates cortisol production which tells the liver to make sugar and release it into the bloodstream for our flight/flight response. Hope this helps✌🏽
Please pass the cream!!!
Thank you for caring, sharing ❤
I don't add sugar to my coffee and it always seem to affect LPR. Doesn't necessarily give me heartburn from GERD, but I often start to cough. I do drink swiss water decaf because I am sensitive to the caffeine.
Love dr.Cywes, but this sound little too biased..... would be interesting to see them debate Dr Chaffee.... he has recently videí about coffee.,
Watch podcast coffee 101 for all the research to aupport this. Chaffee is kneejerking
I agree on the bias, but I still learned a lot... I'm biased as well, as I experience some benefits on my own body.
I do doubt, Chaffee is the right person to debate on coffee, as he has never been a coffee drinker.
@robert cywes will do! Thank you for a tip!👍
@𝗖in𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 agree👍
And btw I'm biased as well..... I'm heavy coffee drinker so anything positive about coffee makes me feel good.... but I still don't wanna make my addiction call the wrong shots about possible bad outcome for my health....
@@vlastimiljanko8638 I am in the same boat as you, this interview sounds too good to be true.
I’m barely 4 minutes in to this and love it already! I always felt that my body needed coffee not like addiction but like it was healthy for me and my health issues from mold, tick diseases & eating plants…
Strong black coffee worked great for me when I used to have trouble breathing.
Great info! What about the grind?
Such good news and coming from Dr Rob’s mouth, I believe it…no question. I’m off to have another coffee 😅
Coffee is really a medicine, not to be taken on a regular basis. Coffee is great if you're not relying on it for your functionality - otherwise it's just another snicky addiction.
Some metaphysically inclined people see that coffee borrows energy from person's own future.
And it's high in histamine, and it can even cause loss of consciousness !! Oy!
I love that!
I am LMHR ketovore and I love coffee. But I quickly realised that caffeinated coffee causes me palpitations (resting HR >90bpm😮). I have low inflammation and very low body fat so increasing my metabolism with caffeine through the stimulation of HPA axis was counterproductive for me. So I currently take decaffeinated coffee with butter or double cream and my resting HR is < 75bpm.
Being here in Colombia and Venezuela coffee is a big part of the culture. Dark, fresh, great. Honestly I can take it or leave it, but I do like a couple caffeine tablets as a pre-workout about an hour before a heavy high intensity resistance training. Funny but most medications are derived from plant compounds.
@@atticushexcel9567 Really? I give a fly flip how many people and which country. Please read what I wrote. Where did I ever say anything about the USA coffee consumption????? Never said anything about American coffee culture. USA is one of the best consumer / buyer markets for foreign sugar, coffee, avocados, fentanyl, meth,...they were a major buyer of marijuana but now grow most of their own. Global world.
As for myself, I have had 3 full term pregnancies. All 3 times I lost my taste for coffee. With the latter two pregnancies it included tea. In the beginning of my pregnancies the smell of coffee made me nauseous. Now I like coffee but once in a while do not drink it. 0:09
This is many years later. Two of my adult children drink coffee -small amounts and one does not.
Coffee has fewer oxalates than tea. I’ve always been a tea drinker. My new meat-based low carb lifestyle has made me very aware of my caffeine sensitivity. If I drink tea past 2pm difficulties with staying asleep ensue. Caffeine has a half life of 12 hours.
I can hear my conical grinder calling.
I boil my coffee similar to "Cowboy Coffee" or Middle Eastern techniques with no filters. My "coffeepot" is a one-quart Corning M68-B double-spout saucepan. Fascinating discussion!
Coffee is LIFE!
Dr what is the truth about pesticides on coffee? I am carnivore for 10 weeks and burst out in tears when I heard that Im not aloud coffee because it is full of pesticides. 20:14
Thank you for the info! IMO, the benefits of coffee maybe bring destroyed by the plastic cups we are quickly brewing. The plastic is questionable to health after running hot acid through it. Grounds or fresh beans brewed beautifully is amazing!
This was a great topic to address! We have roasted coffee beans in the past and their’s nothing quite as sweet as the smell of fresh roasted coffee. After we burnt out three roasters, we decided if we were to continue the practice we needed to invest in the higher dollar roasters. Will definitely check out Umble Coffee company. ❤
Once read correlation between increase coffee consumption and pancreatic cancer. Also, there was a Harvard study about 25yrs old that made a connection between increased consumption consumption and rise in pancreatic cancer.
Love coffee but discovered it was causing joint inflammation. Felt much better off the coffee. Miss it but not worth it...
This is a really good presentation!
I love coffee but unfortunately coffee doesn't seem to like me. I am pretty sure that coffee causes inflammation in my knees, in spite of what the 2 doctors claim. The content of this video was interesting and fun to hear, but it really lacked any detail on the science. Dr. Thomas's comments may have been based on science but this video was not a deep dive into it. I'm really grasping for data/info that might cause me to change my opinion about my coffee inflammation but it just isn't here. Dang. I have eliminated coffee in the past and seen radical improvement in my knees. However, when I reintroduced coffee, it went in the other direction. In fairness, I eliminated a lot of other things from my diet at the same time - actually everything but meat, fat and eggs - and when I reintroduced I also started eating nuts again, especially almonds which are high in oxalates that can cause inflammation. So I'm holding out hope that it's the nuts and not the coffee. I'm two weeks into eliminating both and plan to reintroduce coffee by itself as soon as my knees improve, which has already started after just 2 weeks. FWIW, I'm not coffee sensitive and I prefer my coffee black, bold and thick.
Hi Dr. Cywes... Love your channel! Quick question...Does adding butter to your coffee raise your triglycerides? Mine went from 78 to 150 in the last month. When I tested my lipids i drank butter coffee around 11 hours before . I'm thinking I just didn't wait long enough before testing?
Dear Dr Cywes, you are a God send. I sent you an email, but in case you don’t see it:
Is coffee ok if you have LPR, not just standard acid reflux? Would a keto diet fix the LPR, and you can still tolerate coffee along the way?
I personally don’t have it but I’m genuinely curious because of all the stuff I’ve read.
Thank you!
I've read that coffe can hinder the effectiveness of calcium channel blockers (hypertension medications) like amlodipine. Is that true?
4-5 mugs of coffee a day and about ½ liter of water 😊. I'm coffeeholic. By the way I can't sleep if I don't drink my coffee before bed.
Good questions &Good answers
Why black coffee? Does cream neutralize the benefits or what.
I love LifeBoost (beyond organic) coffee! It’s expensive. I buy the beans and fresh grind them. Then I cold brew. Reheat for steaming coffee and pour in milk & cream for an iced latte. I put coffee syrups in sometimes. It’s delicious black. It makes awesome hot brewed coffee too. Low acid. The decaf is just as good! (caffeine bothers me often)
I don’t sell it or have a vested interest, nope. Nor do I know the ppl who do lol
☕️
Tey some umblecoffee
And here I am drinking my morning cup of Folgers Instant in Hot Tap Water 😅
There is nothing better than the Starbucks Italian roast for my espresso in the morning. Anything lighter roasted coffee is so sour it is ridiculous. My brother worked at Starbucks in 1976 through the 90's. There is so much more to it than just the quality of the bean. The temp, brew speed, and grind has a huge impact. Go to Italy, you can learn how a real espresso and coffee should taste.
Any studies about coffee as part of a poly-pharma picture?
What other elements in coffee are people sensitive to eg cafesol’s impact for some on raising triglycerides?
Coffee: Medically speaking, does black coffee (or even coffee with heavy cream - no carbs) break a persons fast when they are doing intermittent fasting? Some sources say that even black coffee will break your fast (i disagree based on my research) but I wanted to see if you've seen medical studies that prove this one way or the other (and if coffee is ok, is heavy cream also ok?). Thanks!
Does Dr Kenneth Thomas have any scientific research papers and valid experiments to back up his claims? Please reference them, I would love to show the research/papers for his theory to all the naysayers against coffee.
Yes. 3 slides of references. Go to his coffee101 podcast. All listed
Does coffee work on insulin the way Metformin does?
I love coffee. My only concern is the tannins , is it washing/blocking nutrients ? Or is that overblown ?
Forget about creating a new coffee product that everyone can drink because there’s no such of thing, people gonna find out the good bad and ugly lately, let coffee be coffee and that’s it
1:02:15
Can you confirm? I've never heard of pure Stevia having a glycemic impact. Not even Truvia which is a Stevia/Erythritol blend.
These seem much better than Splenda which has been linked to negative impacts on gut flora.
Dr Berry needs to hear this, he gave it up for a month
Good people do silly things...I will let Ken know
Does the lighter roast have more polyphenols?
Hi doctors, is black coffee high in carbs? Why it gives me heartburn? Thank you!
is chemically decafe safe?
Lots of interesting points but I have to push back on "All disease is inflammation. " Inflammation is a function of the immune system. It itself is not disease.
What about using a very small amount of sugar-Less than a teaspoon?
I moved recently from eastern Europe to USA. What surprises me the most, when I am shopping for coffee here in America, there is no date of roasting on coffee packages (It usually has the date of expiration). How can I find out WHEN the coffee was roasted? I want to make sure my coffee stayed on the shelf no more than three months since it was roasted. Is it possible to find it?
Most of the specialty coffee brands will have the roast date on it. Not all grocery stores carry them. One brand is Counter Culture coffee.
You'll need to find a local coffee roasting company, or roast your own.
I like to see more detailed studies on circulation, skin quality and health. My hands and feet crack on coffee. They dry out and this is with 2 cups a day. Or one shot of espresso. It takes about 5 days for cracks and dryness to clear up. Then in a day or two on it, it shows up again. Maybe not cracks but my hand, feet and eyes dry out. I'm sure there's an underlying thing someone would say. Other commenters replied back to me said a similar thing with circulation, neuropathy and diabetes. Too much coffee hurts their blood sugar reactions insulin response. I bet it's related to hair loss too, i'm a bit thin on top. But it's too soon to say for sure. I think the billion dollar industry would be devastated if a coffee roaster said it was not so good for you. And the studies as well. Just criticizing it as sugar and cholesterol was criticized with devastating effects. In one direction or the other. Pro/con mixed with collusion/lobbying
Keep these coming
Love this.
Does coffee not raise cortisol level?
No
I’m pretty sure it does raise cortisol levels. In addition to raising epinephrine and norepinephrine hormones as well. I’m a type 1 diabetic and if I drink a black coffee my blood sugar rises. I’ve been told it’s because the three hormones I mentioned above communicates to my liver to create sugar and release it into the bloodstream.
I have already have up coffee and diet Pepsi 4weeks ago! Thinking it was bad for u! So now it's not! But if I don't have any problems I'll just stay off of it!
Littel buutter yes or no ?
Sugar/carbs causes reflux for me. I drink coffee every morning and it never causes reflux. Maybe if I drank it at night. It’s only when i consume sugar/carbs that i get reflux. Sugar/carbs also give me gas. Coffee does make me regular for sure.
What do you think of glycine as a sweetener in coffee?
I’ve read articles that most coffee has mold. Thoughts? Is this propaganda?
Urban legend. Most reputable coffee roasters use a processing and roasting process that ensures the coffee is mold free. Buying "mold-free" coffee is a marketing gimik.
Thought so too. Listen..i asked that question
I am dissapointed, no facts how coffe works , no studies, only that coffe is amazing
I agree. Have you heard about the book, Caffeine Blues by Stephen Cherniske M.S.? Caffeine is really not healthy.
Also if you Google 12 Little Known Facts About Coffee by Jason Christoff you will see how bad coffee really is. Thanks.
Just listened two other podcasts one on Chaffee other with Pollan saying coffee is no good. causing anxiety for example.
I get more anxious listening to the naysayers than from drinking my one cup of half caffeine with cream and butter.
It’s my dessert, not interested in quitting.
@@barblacy619 your comment is weird, why would you share what you are interested in that way? It's kind of defensive and seems something is triggering you :)
As for you you can drink your wee.
I wish you find ways to deal with you anxiety.
Best wishes
BS
@@robertcywes2966 BS that I listened to them, BS that they said it or BS reg what they said?
Do you say that they are wrong? Would you be able to tell that to their faces? "Hey Chaffee, it's BS what you say."
Why do you use Dr Cywes name here anyway?
Coffee often has moulds, mycotoxins, oxalates, phytates, etc. It’s hard to believe these two doctors are glazing over these many serious issues.
Actually coffee is low in oxalates. It has been measured and Sally K Norton wrote about it on her blog. Black and green tea have way more oxalates. Yes in the mycotoxins and I since it’s a seed, phytic acid. But maybe the roasting and brewing process reduces some of the phytates. These are all relevant concerns.
