Cofee with butter: new fashion in West

December 20, 2014  10:45

Coffe with butter claims to boost energy levels, burn fat and keep people alert. Cofee shops around USA and U.K now add buttery coffee to their menus. This new kind of coffe was formulated by American health guru Dave Asprey who discovered yak butter tea while traversing the Tibetan mountains. The buttery coffe now is known as 'fat black' and 'paleo coffee'.

Adding two tablespoons of unsalted butter - made from grass-fed cows - and a dash of coconut oil to morning coffee can provide six hours of energy, burns fat and improves cognitive function.

However, specialists  claim that  adding saturated fat to coffee goes against the principles of healthy eating and long term weight management. Adding extra fat to coffee means adding extra calories and arising heart diseases.
