While we are on the coffee subject, the best coffee creamer is melted ice cream! I just put some in a glass jar the night before and it is ready to go in the morning!

Totally agree. I just kicked a nearly 16 year habit and getting that extra hour or so of sleep every night has made a big difference.I would stay away from caffeine if “not needed” . At the end it’s just an addiction more. If you feel that healthy and stress free it could be better to think about which unnecessary things could be removed from your life and supermarket bill ;-) .
It’s a bit like adding redwine to your daily routine because your liver is now in a such good shape. Yeah you can do it but is it really worth??? Keep it simple
Got my answer from Ray Peat......
I never liked sweetened coffee either. Until I tried coffee with raw egg yolk and raw honey, that is! You just mix up an egg yolk and about a tablespoon of honey, then pour hot coffee over the mixture and stir until it's dissolved. Somebody on this forum shared the recipe, actually. Delicious - and not too sweet.Rinse & rePeat:
“I was wondering if the natural sugar in milk is sufficient enough in my coffee. I like to have an iced coffee, with more milk than brewed coffee, but have never been a lover of sweet things. Will my coffee with lots of milk balance my blood sugar enough without the added sugar?”

“It’s best to have it with a meal, unless it’s just milk with a litle coffee flavor.”

Surely with enough yolks and honey this qualifies as a small 'meal.'
I'm a coffee connoisseur & look forward to my daily cappuccino or home brew. It's a ritual. And, if you source great beans or have access to a craft coffee shop (not starbucks) that really invests in quality beans from non-gmo/organic coffee farms then it's a big difference. Many a time, the coffee-jitters people are experiencing are from the mycotoxins and pesticides on the beans that may not have been washed away. Always go for a good bean. Try Purity Coffee or Biodynamic Coffee. Or, checkout a local craft coffee shop and ask about where they source from and if they are quality. Ask for a "washed process" bean that they have. They usually have sugar processed, honey processed, natural processed, other processes and then a washed process. The washed process ensure and pesticide/toxin is heavily rinsed off. And, don't skimp on having milk and sugar with it like Ray always says.
My dependency on coffee has lessened after getting my thyroid in check over the course of the last 3 months. I don't always feel the need for it - most of the time I do - but I'm definitely beginning to experience days where I have no need for it. But, I love it - it's an ultimate comfort beverage and de-stressor for me. So, I'll keep it up and sometimes dabble in taking a day or two off just to make it even more enjoyable when I do have it. Haha.
