[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2081612, member: 6467"] Yes, I do like alliteration. [URL]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-48692763[/URL] "However, Aisling Pigott, a registered dietician, and spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association (BDA), is critical. "Bulletproof coffee is not something I'd ever recommend, because it's introducing extra calories and extra fat in a way that isn't providing any other nutritional value," she says. "There is no benefit to adding butter to your coffee. With a Bulletproof coffee-based breakfast you're missing out on what you're getting from a food-based breakfast - there is no protein, vitamins or minerals."

I wonder what it takes to be "a registered dietitian, and spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association (BDA)"? I don't think that minerals are normally listed in nutritional information but ICBW. Seriously, though; describing butter (the concentrated goodness of milk which is amazingly nutritious), as "of no benefit" does smack of a very political slant to nutrition.
