N=1 for coffee and triglycerides

(Bob M) #1

Dave Feldman’s blog has an n=1 study of coffee and triglycerides:

I’m not sure whether all variables were controlled, though.

Definitely not the case with me. My trigs were low at my last physical and I drink coffee all day long up until bedtime.

At the risk of a really stupid question, does the elevation in triglyceride levels caused by consuming coffee actually do any harm in the context of our HFLC way of eating? I know we’re programmed to think that triglycerides are the devil. But are they actually a real risk factor in this context? If they are a real danger, there has to be a reason. I’m not making the connection. (?)

Good question.

I drink litres of the stuff & my trigs are in the basement :slightly_smiling_face:
