What's your coffee drink and why?
LizRD15 OP t1_j66d16k wrote
Hi BaconTacoLove! I drink black iced coffee with a few drops of organic liquid stevia. I avoid the creamers and sweeteners that add up to a lot of calories and spike your blood sugar. I enjoy iced vs. hot simply out of personal preference. I enjoy Stevia as it is an all-natural, non-caloric sweetener that studies have shown to be safe for consumption with no side effects (unlike artificial sweeteners that cause gas and bloating, and have been shown to be carcinogens).

What about that whole thing I've heard about your body creating insulin when you eat something sweet, and if it's artificial, the insulin still gets released but then has nothing to do (or is too much) and then causes ... Some kind of under/over-production problem?

Great point, Elle_in_Hell. This has been shown to be true with artificial sweeteners like Splenda, sweet 'n low, equal, etc., but not with natural non-caloric sweeteners like monk fruit and stevia.

Yes adding stevia to your coffee makes it not black why did I get downvoted lmao

Black coffee means no milk or creamer. It literally refers to the color of the coffee.

You are wrong but ok

Hi FindingEmoe, I really encourage you to keep this a positive environment. "Black Coffee" is defined in the dictionary as "coffee with no milk, milk substitute, or cream added" (https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/black-coffee). If you have a question, please feel free to ask it. If you are looking to be unkind and call people out for no reason, please discontinue, immediately. This AMA is meant to be a helpful, safe space.
