Fast food with coffee bad for health

Eating a fatty fast food meal is unhealthy, but Enjoying this with a cup of coffee is more worse. The caffeine in coffee doubles the elevation in blood sugar levels triggered by eating fatty fare, according to a new study published in the Journal of Nutrition. ”The results tell us that saturated fat interferes with the body’s ability to clear sugars from the blood and, when combined with caffeinated coffee, the impact can be even worse,” researcher Marie-Soleil Beaudoin said in a written statement. “Having sugar remain in our blood for long periods is unhealthy because it can take a toll on our body’s organs.” The researchers said the fat-caffeine combo interferes with the communication between the gut and the pancreas, the organ responsible for producing the insulin that helps regulate sugar levels in the blood.

Beaudoin said the findings are particularly important for people at risk for metabolic diseases and Type 2 diabetes. ”We have known for many years that people with or at risk of Type 2 diabetes should limit their caffeine intake,” she said in the statement. “Drinking decaffeinated coffee instead of caffeinated is one way to improve one’s glucose tolerance.”
