Why You Shouldn’t Drink Coffee on an Empty Stomach, According to a Nutritionist

[Robert59]

Here’s how a typical morning for me used to go: Wake up, hit snooze several times, drag myself to the kitchen to make coffee, then wait for the sweet, sweet caffeine to hit my veins. I’m basically a walking but first, coffee cliché. But I mean, that phrase is all over T-shirts/mugs/café letter boards for a reason, right? So when I described my daily routine during a recent nutrition consult with Carlyn Rosenblum, MS, RD, I wasn’t expecting her first criticism to be about that particular habit. Here’s what she had to say about drinking coffee on an empty stomach before breakfast.

No, no, no! They are not taking my early morning coffee.
I am not sure that I am even human before I have had my coffee.

I am no longer concerned with ovulation or hormonal imbalances, so early a.m. coffee, here I come.

Is she referring to coffee without milk? I always take mine with milk.
Don't worry there will be a study out next week that says Coffee on an empty stomach will aid in helping you live longer.
I watch the changes in the benefits or not of statins - it seems it's a different report every couple of months.

The "morning coffee" is a staple at our house. Given all the warnings about what is "bad" for our health, it's a wonder we're still alive.
