The thing about coffee that we have to watch is that some people have different glycemic responses than others. What I mean is that if a person is hypoglycemic, frequent caffeine intake can be a problem because it stresses out the adrenal glands and can make blood sugar levels wonky. And when our blood sugar levels are wonky, we are at greater risk for diabetes and cancer. So if you do choose to drink coffee and you are hypoglycemic, be careful that it is an occasional treat and stick to herbal teas as much as possible.
