What's the go with buttered coffee ?

[olbod]

I have seen mention of this a couple of times in the last few days.
Never heard of it before.
Why, what for, whats it do ?
Does it prevent old men from loosing the hair on their lower legs, stuff like that ?'

PS: would it work with margarine ?

If you look the recipes it appears to me that it is for those that do not like the taste of coffee.

I have it as part of the low carb high fat diet (LCHF). As I cut the carbs down I became more sensitive to cream which I was using previously so I needed an alternative. I'm not a big fan of black coffee and the butter takes the edge off.

I wouldn't use margarine, you need to use unsalted butter.

You can also use coconut oil. Use a blender to make it nice and creamy. (Avoid the coconut oil if your a migraine sufferer though)

Ah okay.
I stopped drinking coffee to lower my caffeine intake.
Still drink tea with a level teaspoon of sugar.
I had a diabetes blood test as a precaution the other week and the numbers were 4.0.

You can have a good quality decaff coffee like the Lavazza and use Stevia instead of sugar.
When I was living in Qld I used to grow my own stevia.
Tea have a lot of caffeine as well.

Why use margarine ? -butter is a natural animal product, not chemically altered or damaged as is boiled/hydrogen-bubbled, / pressurised, liquid "vegetable" oil, - often made from genetically altered plants. eg, Canola is GM-d 'Rape' plant, a great stock feed but toxic to humans...

But makes great bio-Diesel. :p

i think you missed the point olbod's post

rape plant is not toxic to humans, but there is a toxin in the seed shell, which you are unlikely to eat. but you can use it with a solvent to kill a lot of Japanese

Thanks, that's much more relevant to the subject of buttered coffee now.

Tea with butter is the traditional Tibetan (Nepalese?) way to drink it, but I've never heard of coffee with butter

I have removed my ill considered comment regarding coffee beans and civet cats. SWMBO saw it and said it was in poor taste!! Too right, that ain't the half of it...gotta love unintended humour ...well in the interests of 43 yrs of married harmony I shall comply...;)

If your looking at lowering your caffeine intake have a look at Cold brewed coffee. You still get the coffee flavour but it has less caffeine and is also less acidic.

Wine is also good.

Vodka, no caffeine no sugar and no care

From the summary


Overall, canola oil is not as bad as other vegetable oils (like soybean oil), but it is still far from being healthy. You would do much better eating olive oil or coconut oil instead.

The article was a little short of proclaiming it as "toxic to humans..."

Haven't tried butter in coffee. I don't generally drink it.

The whole idea of messing with my diet lately is because I am trying different suggested ways to control and lower the effects of Sinusitus.
Its been giving me hell this year with a feeling of light headedness and vertigo.
Lots of info on the internet but it takes time to practise it to find a balance.
My attempts over the last few weeks with diet changes to include a high fibre intake is having some beneficial effects.
But it will take time to get back fully on my feet so to speak.
I might ask some more silly questions along the way.

Without knowing what is causing your sinus problems I'd suggest reducing your wheat intake. One of the benefits for me in giving up wheat was the reduction in my allergic reactions and less sinus issues.

I suffer a lot less hayfever etc which in turn reduces sinus problems overall.

No such thing as a silly question its how we all learn. :D
