#sugar #food #health
I disagreed with her assessment on Black Coffee. It doesn't spike blood glucose cos i have personally tested it with the GCM. Black Coffee does NOT spike blood glucose!
She didn't explain this fully which is super misleading only coupled with food it does temporarily
But that is because it is a stimulant and amplifier. Over the longevity it actually helps with type 2 diabetes they believe because of the polyphenol in coffee overall it is healthy for us, but maybe watching what you consume along with it is wise.
Coffee by itself does not raise blood sugar. Rather the caffeine can inhibit insulin release and indirectly interfere with sugar levels. This effect varies by individual.
Absolutely. The objective of the video here is to get people like us tense and worried so that our cortisol levels spike up further, which in turn will lead to elevated blood glucose levels.
That lady failed to mention that these foods and drinks were tested with lab animals
She’s missing an important note. Whole fruit with fiber decreases your glucose spike rather than sugar by itself or fruit juice. Whole fruit is amazing for you.
I can testify to that, Joy...! My blood sugar was 430; I quit apple juice and it decreased to 160 in less than 2 weeks. Processed foods are the real killers (even meat has added suger).
✨🌈♥️👋🥴👍✨
There are some fruits that are higher glycemic index than others I think she's mostly referring to people who are insulin resistant . Berries are most recommended for fiber also flax seed is always a good addition for fiber.
Some fruit are not good for you if you’re controlling sugar or insulin spike (ie Bananas, Pineapples, mangoes, basically anything that’s not a berry).
@@jocolegreengrapes? I’ve been doing research and have seen nothing but good things from grapes.
Really wish she would’ve covered fruits more.
Black Coffee doesn't spike blood glucose. Fasting for decades while drinking black coffee and it never has spiked my blood sugar. Nurse for 30 years here. I test my blood sugar daily never experienced black coffee spiking blood sugar. My advice, if you want to start getting healthy start every other day fasting or include fasting into your lifestyle.
Good grief there's nothing left to eat. Either it spikes your blood sugar or it increases your cancer odds. Guess I'll have to live on broccoli & Kale the rest of my life.
…..and raw walnuts! 🤷🏼♂️
Right ??!
Kale is one of the food crops with the most pesticide used on it.😢
@@eddieg6436 I have gained so much weight from eating raw walnuts.
@@ninaj6307 and kale is bad for your thyroid.
I've never heard that unsweetened coffee raises your blood sugar. This sounds like bs
For those who are already diabetic, coffee/caffeine can cause your blood sugars to spike. A switch to decaf coffee could help, I suppose. To be frank, almost anything can cause a diabetic to have spikes because the body is not creating enough insulin to battle them.
@@kev7161 thanks. I didn't realize this.
Black coffee without sugar? That’s total BS!
Yes it’s lower black coffee no sugar
I’m questioning that black coffee spikes your sugar. If that were the case, you couldn’t consume it while fasting.
Drinking caffeine triggers the release of adrenaline and thus can raises blood glucose levels. Adrenaline is the source of the “fight or flight” response, a survival mechanism that forces you to stand up and fight or run for the hills.
I agree. Why blame black coffee where there's so many other readily available culprits out there consumed daily at every meal (ultra-processed foods, sodas, breads, refined carbs). The focus of this story is completely misleading and unethical to even report.
Why didn't you mention all the chemicals & added sugars that's added food/junk foods!
Different fruits and veggies have higher carbs too. Potatoes are very high carbs. Grapes are very high.
Only eat HALF, or part of a banana, not the whole thing.
I eat red grapes every every single day.. they are high in antioxidants and reservatrol
@@HH-gv8mx ….red or purple grapes are good, green are not.
If there wasn’t sugar in all the products we consume, we’d be healthier. Milk, sour cream, yogurts, cereals, canned beans, etc.
1% milk has no added sugar..no-sugar yogurt too. I eat those all the time.
Better to consume full cream fats with any sugar
I find out that even many hot dogs and sausages have SUGAR but why!?
@@ArifAli-hg1eqto make you addicted
Bread in other countries doesn't have added sugar like in America.
Correct! Bread in Europe, for example, doesn’t have added sugar nor do they use processed ingredients. My endocrinologist from Turkey told me obesity and Type 2 diabetes was epidemic in this country because of the processed foods(chemicals, hormones,etc), portion sizes, and because America is a car culture(Europeans walk and ride bicycles more).
@@mnob1122 I know it has something to do with money, i don't know the exact reason why. But in America, even dishes that don't need sweetness in the flavor have it like pizza and hamburger buns. Sweet bread tastes bad.
Correct. That is why I make my own.
@@ralphee7487 I normally buy small name brands or just any brand that doesn't use added sugar. If you dig deep you can find sugar free bread in the bakery section. Also sour dough normally is added sugar free.
@@ralphee7487 But making your own is the most efficient way to make bread that isn't a sugar bomb. If you look at every other country's standard diet, it is actually healthy, but not america. Added sugar in our food is a major reason why. I sometimes go out to big tourist spots nearby and it's very easy to point out who's american and who's not. Americans are always gonna be the bigger people.
Coffee doesn’t spike blood sugar. Bull.
It’s well-known that oatmeal from the Oatzempic trend will spike blood sugar. Also, I wear a cgm and black coffee does absolutely nothing to my blood sugar. If she thinks that black coffee without cream and sugar spikes blood sugar from caffeine content, then that is something that does not produce the same effect for most.
Today Show, do you have researchers who screen your medical professionals? It does not appear that you did with this guest! Please consider inviting a real, licensed nutritionist and endocrinologist on together to discuss this important issue instead. When it comes to medicine and health, substance is much more important than style, even on TV!
This.
May have to try ripple
Black plain coffee does not raise blood sugar except if you are a sufferer of severe chronic anxiety having too much cortisol in your body. Cortisol raises blood sugar so adding big amounts of coffee which also raises cortisol will result in more sugar in your blood. One cup though will not do any harm
I thought black coffee doesn’t spike the blood glucose, which is why you can have it during your fast if you do intermittent fasting???
This kindof misinformation is very irritating...so ONLY when coffee is coupled with food there is a temporary spike because it is a stimulant and amplifies any sugar high or low glycemic. Over the long term coffee has shown in studies to decrease type 2 diabetes but large quantities likev7 cups a day by 7 percent they believe it may be because of the polyphenols in it. So this is a very incomplete thing to say and throw out there for everyone to freak out about! Ugh....
It doesn’t specify your sugar. I drank it on my keto diet & it never kicked me out of ketosis which only happened bc it does NOT spike blood sugar. She also said “look at sugar not carbs” but carbs IS sugar. So some of her advice doesn’t add up.
I drink coffee with a splash of almond milk and MCT oil in it during my fast.
@@HH-gv8mx unsweetened? So that's great for keto but not technically fasting .
Black coffee doesn't spike blood sugar. The report is false. Amazing how NBC Today allows this, but then again, they are controlled by the big multinational food corporations.
What about candy, bread, etc- didn't mention how healthy fruit is. This segment was sponsored by Frito lay and Hershey
I’ve had tremendous success with low carb ketogenic diet. Fruit tends to make me gain weight every time I eat it. Just my personal experience. Other people may react differently
Donuts 🍩 and breakfast cereals are the worst types of process foods.
Sugar IS carbs!! So look at carbs on the label and subtract the fiber
Yes! As a diabetic this is what I’ve been instructed to do by my doctors. All carbs turn to glucose in your body. The key is to eat foods high in fiber and with slower releasing carbs.
Also don’t eat meat. Stay away from red meat and egg yellows especially otherwise you’ll develop a cholesterol problem too. Fish occasionally might be ok, depends on the person. Learn how to eat brown rice, with steamed vegetables and boiled beans. I’ve found this to be my go to meal to feel full and healthy. Obviously you can vary it up maybe use chickpeas instead of beans. Try to keep it to like one fruit a day. Weigh yourself every morning when you wake up and every night before you go to bed. Remember, what doesn’t get measured doesn’t get managed. Learn how to skip a meal once in a while to cut on calories, if you’re over weight and unable to find time to exercise like if you have a very demanding job. Ideally you want to eat right and be able to exercise regularly as often as you can but sometimes we can’t because of life so be realistic with your goals. Don’t ever “reward” yourself with food. If you fall into this habit, eventually you may be punishing yourself with the same food.
I was told that the best part of the egg is the egg yolk. Eggs are a whole food. They contain all the amino acids. But only if you consume the whole egg, not just the egg whites.
@@HH-gv8mx it’s true that egg yellows have nutrients in them. However one egg yellow also has about 66% of a persons daily cholesterol limit. If you don’t believe me look it up on google. Always look at the nutrition fact labels. You want most of those numbers to be as close to 0 as possible (cholesterol, sugar, fats, sodium). I would say the only number you want higher is probably fiber. You have to be careful with articles on the internet. You can find blogs that tell you anything is good for you. But remember, numbers don’t lie. Listen to the numbers. If you’re eating eggs, like crazy like I used to do, you’re going to have cholesterol problems. It will feel like chest pain at first and get worse until you see a doctor and they do blood work. When you get blood work done they’ll tell you all your exact numbers in your blood, based on all the foods you eat. Best of luck friend.
@@HH-gv8mx Egg yellows have like 66% of your daily limit of cholesterol. I wouldn’t reccomend eating too much egg yellows. Maybe 3 eggs a week if you’re feeling brave. Otherwise you’re risking heart disease with symptoms of chest pain.
@@HH-gv8mxyou are absolutely right don’t listen to his claim. Eggs and other Whole Foods high in saturated fats only are a problem when you eat a lot of refined carbs and sugar. But definitely stay away from processed meats.
I eat a lot of fish, egg whites, scallops, Asparagus, raw red onion, raw almonds, raw broccoli, arugula, spinach, kale, and avocados every single day. my grandmother is 96 years old and she’s as sharp as attack. She has two eggs every single morning with breakfast. And a glass of red wine every night with dinner.
We have to watch out what we eat that’s a given but everything being processed is not in the best interest in consumers heath
Ok how much does 1 cup of black coffee spike sugar?
*How does black sugarless coffee spike blood sugar?* 😮
Drinking caffeine triggers the release of adrenaline. Adrenaline raises blood glucose levels.. Adrenaline is the source of the “fight or flight” response, a survival mechanism that forces you to stand up and fight or run for the hills.
coffee long-term seems to have favorable effects on diabetes/oxidative stress. the caffeine is likely the culprit in terms of acute increases in blood sugar--just like stress....stick to eating whole real foods..mainly plant based...avoid processed foods..discount all the excess noise/advice.
Has anyone heard of Dr. Brook Goldner, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr. Michael Gregor?
Try Nutrition Made Simple by Dr. Gil Carvalho. He doesn't fear monger.
Sadly, most haven't and thus go on to suffer. Also include Dr. McDougall and Dr. Neil Barnard.
@@jaym9846 will do. thank you for mentioning them. i love both of them as well. totally agreed on the 99% just not aware. i also recommend chef AJ's channel where she covers a lot of the plant physicians and many plant aware people in the field. one step at a time, one day at a time, one human at a time, our species will go back to the diet we were born to eat ... 100% plants. my ancestry of at least 5000 years according to many scientific journals subsisted on plants and it was passed down generation to generation. we will get there together.
I disagree with black coffee which I add cinnamon to it to help with the taste
i dont think black coffeee spikes your sugar . its creamy sweetened beverages that are bad
dump your processed food, eat in moderation and start exercising, you'll be just fine.
I could not have said it better myself
Fruits not much sugar eat blueberries & Strawberries. Banana eat in moderation. Also read the ingredients is important. People with high insulin needs to excercise & Fastings.
Disagree with the comment on almond milk. Almond milk has a low glycemic index and low in carbohydrates so it has minimal effect on blood sugar. I drank it while doing keto and it never impacted me.
Keto or carnivore for max life.
Sugar is just dangerous and products should have a warning label on them. There are people out here that are sugar sensitive.
Did they talk about fruits? Felt like it was skipped even though it was on top of the list
I think they did, which I just ate a bunch of strawberries/black berries because they are on sale, and I don’t know how I should feel about this…
@@vanessahobbes3072My doctor said eat BERRIES, and avoid bananas, grapes, oranges, apples (too much of these). Too much sugar!
@eddieg6436 I appreciate this information!
@@vanessahobbes3072 my doctor said (for example) if making a smoothie, use 1/3 a banana, not a whole banana. I cut a banana into chunks, freeze it, and put a few chunks into a smoothie.
@@eddieg6436 Berries are known for not affecting your blood sugar that much. If you have a healthy diet overall, there’s no reason to avoid other fruits. Eating a variety of fruits is healthy for you. Just make sure you don’t overeat it.
People in general overeat and that’s where so many problems start. You must learn to say enough is enough and drink a glass of water after a meal helps too. Stay away from buffets or all you can eat fish fry’s. It’s hard though because food is everywhere and available 24/7! 🍔🍕🍿
Too rushed. Slow down questions and responses need time.. overall very helpful
I love Hoda but has she had a pot of coffee this morning
LOL! She is often on 10. 😂
What coffee
Fruit does not spike blood sugar and neither does coffee without sugar.
Key to all this is moderation not deprivation. Going cold turkey on coffee if you are a regular coffee drinker is just stupid advice. No one is eating sushi everyday. The alternatives to white rice are harsher for your GI tract. There is nothing wrong with having one cup of coffee a day, eating sushi once a week, having fruit occasionally. It's called living your life, not living with fear.
She did not mention exercise & going to bed on time…..very interesting
Ugh! So I guess it’s just $$$$$$ sushi with no rice (Nobu), raw walnuts, avocado, and berries?! 🤷🏼♂️
How much did Ripple pay for that ad?
Coffee? First time I hear that
The reason why black coffee spikes blood sugar its because CORTISOL!
Cortisol is very dangerous for the body
No coffee lower suger
@@user-ir4dp1wn1w are you just randomly saying that? Do you know how cortisol works in the human body?
******
😅. Maybe first mention what coffee w/ standard creamer does
Eat what you need in moderation
TODAY always finds hot doctors.... ;-)
Your desperation has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
And misinformed doctors who need to be better educated about nutrition
Fillers, botox
No more Smucker's jam 😂
No coffee or anything with flavor that tastes good.
I am a Registered Dietitian and have.a PhD. I studied caffeine’s impact on blood glucose. The information provided here is completely taken out of context. Nor does this person consider the complexity of food and the importance of fiber, protein, etc. Fruit consumption is one of the most protective dietary factors against all case mortality (death) and cancer. Insulin resistance is not caused by high blood sugar foods, it is caused by over nutrition over time. So disheartening to see such bad advice peddled here.
Even almond milk spike it 🤦 it simply tricky man I don’t know it hard yo tell sometimes
It doesn’t-that was misinformation
This report is completely false and must be paid for by the big food corporations. What about the top culprits - refined ultra-processed junk (sodas, refined breads, pastas, pastries, doughnuts, cakes, candy) and everything else with added sugars. The list they present is completely misleading. Fruit has so many benefits including fiber, antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, minerals. The coffee she's talking about is the type from Starbucks with all the added sugar and refined creams. The non-dairy milk she's talking about is the type with added sugars, additives, and preservatives. The sushi of course only in large amounts with the white rice, but instead of focusing on sushi, what about the everyday fast food (deep fried chicken, starchy potatoes, burgers with refined buns, side of french fries, and of course liquid poison also known as soda). It's disheartening how misleading this report is and the reason why we're all suffering so much. She's missing the whole point where all of the ultra-processed, readily-available junk with too much added sugar and refined carbohydrates are the problem.
It's better not to eat anything.
McDonald's ONLY👍
Can we just eat air?🙄
Just do not eat nothing!! Look how skinny she is!! And she has the money to buy the foods she talks about.... do not listen... eat what u can!! We live in food desert 🏜 whole food $$$$$
Please keep eating
I disagree 100% about coffee. No way, black coffee in moderation is good for you. I’ll never give it up!
I’m sick of all this bs we can’t eat anything now
Everyone’s an expert….
Wow that lady in black has amazing legs!
lol 😂. I was searching for a similar comment 😊
Keto is the solution
I'm sorry but that list is already flawed. All I had to do was see the thumbnail. Coffee and fruit? Smh
Oats don’t have nutrients or fibre?? 🙈where did they find this doctor?
I was very excited by the title but this clip was a Major letdown. You're going to drop a bomb like black coffee spikes glucose, then just like move on? That is an absolute sea change of a plot twist. Then no science to back it up. This clip was a missed opportunity.
Doctors in 10 years: "New advice! Don't eat anything! It's the new trend!"
These information changes from so call expert to expert. Doctor to doctor. So you anyone truly knows???
Dr. Taz has nice legs . . . Just sayin' ! Excellent advice too of course !
This is precisely why I don’t watch TV! Spoonfed BS…
Nothing is good for u anymore.guess we live on water
She doesn’t appear to be the most competent. Obviously attempting TV time and book sales. Another “medical doctor” discrediting many others who actually try to help.
BS!!
Stupidity, hahaha black coffee? Not!! She should be fired, and fruit is minor!
Oy, hyper obsessed female incoming…😅
that's not evidence based data...she's not serious
she talks rubbish
