Bulletproof coffee, also known as ghee coffee, is a high-calorie caffeinated drink made with added fat. It is designed to fuel your day by replacing carbohydrate-heavy breakfasts.
“Absolute hype, no evidence,” said Kerala-based hepatologist Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, widely recognised as “TheLiverDoc” on X. He explained it is black coffee with added clarified butter.
Citing scientific research, TheLiverDoc wrote, “This study showed that bullet coffee had no benefits over black coffee except that, unfortunately, it only increased calorie intake.”
Citing another study, he said, “This study showed that consuming bullet proof coffee did nothing to your immune system. So yes, it does not boost your anything.”
“This exhaustive review looked at all the claims and there were no significant improvements in cognition, alertness, or energy levels from bulletproof coffee compared to regular coffee.
“Stick to regular black coffee minus the added sugar. It is the best. Watch your celeb idols dance. Do not take health advice from them,” Dr Philips concluded.
