Tea and Coffee are acquire tastes and we can live with out them.Having said that,many of us like their taste and they have also become part of our social behavior.There are reports that in very moderate quantities they are good for health and can harm if taken in excess.So,it boils down to an individual's decision.I just take one cup of filter coffee per day.

Which one ( tea or coffee) has not bad impact on blood sugar level in long run?

coffee is better . In fact coffee reduces diabetes. CO

by the actual experience of people who had gone in to the use .EXPERIMENT AND see for a month .Diabetis is a metabolic disorder and no two people have the same metabolism . But still comparitive results give some guidance.

No doubt,you have an ideal control on diabetes. I am interested in LCHF and am still trying to understand it.

You have nicely summarized LCHF here! Is there any special benefit of intermittent fasting?

Now,these things (related to LCHF & diabetes) are more clear to me.Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions & time sharing.Have a nice day!

This comparitive analysis makes the point clear.Any thing taken in excess gives bad results . Coffee with cream and more sugar is bad but three or four cups per day without cream or much sugar is not harmful .For that matter even if taken with a spoon of sugar it is not harmful , because a tea spoon contains 10 grams which is 40 calories .When care is taken with on eye on total caloric count , coffee is good .I

Dear asoreka,thanks for asking your question.Please go through the following:

VCO is available in the market under both categories branded as well as local.You can search it in your local oil market.Price of VCO per litre,in general,ranges from Rs.350 to Rs.600.Remember-Branded items are generally sold at higher rate and they all are not always of better quality. You can purchase local VCO at lower rate but it must be cold pressed and free from any additive.

If you have any doubt while going through my reply then please,do not feel hesitation and ask me for further clarification.
