Why drinking coffee after dinner might be bad for you.
After-dinner java a bad idea
Enjoying dessert after a large meal is obviously bad for your blood sugar—but recent research shows that drinking a cup of after-dinner coffee may be just as bad.
Researchers at the University of Guelph found that people who ate a high-fat dinner and then drank a cup of caffeinated coffee had 33 percent higher blood sugar levels than those who ate the same meal but skipped the coffee.
The report, which was published in the Journal of Nutrition, attributed the blood glucose spike to an interaction between the coffee, the fat, and the hormones that control blood sugar. Fat combined with caffeine appears to interrupt the communication between the intestines and the pancreas, according to researchers.
