Bulletproof coffee -Daily Mail article

I have a cup every day, with butter and coconut oil, been doing so for nearly 6 months now.
 
what coffee and butter do you use as I have tesco decaffeinated coffee, kerrygold butter and coconut oil spray
 
Decaf ground filter coffee, kerrygold or organic butter and 100% pure coconut oil, well whisked. I top it with double cream.
 
And if you have a branch of Crusshh nearby, they make "BRain Coffee" which is BPC, made with Butter and MCT Oil, but it costs £4.25 a cup. Ouch...
 
I love coffee, I love butter and I love coconut but I just can't imagine mixing them all together and drinking it! (I drink my coffee black)

Each to their own, I guess
 
Sometimes reading the DM can be very painful
 
Cream is still the easy answer.
That's a good point, and it leads to a question that I've often wondered about. From a nutritional standpoint, is there any significant difference between cream and unsalted butter?

Thanks Tim. So in terms of fat profile they're probably much the same except for the lower moisture content in butter making it about 60% more concentrated.

Also little bit more of both protein and carb in cream, but they're both so small it's probably not of much consequence.
 
Coconut oil..... I use 100% pure coconut oil in coffee. It has no taste or smell of coconut. Around £2.50 for a large 500ml jar at Larger Tesco and Sainsburys, also on eBay.
Virgin coconut oil does smell and taste of coconuts. It is also much more expensive.
An article here comparing coconut oil with MCT oil http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/mct-oil-vs-coconut-oil-the-truth-exposed/

I prefer Lucy Bee's which is extra virgin raw organic coconut oil, but it's expensive compared to KTC. I get it from Sainsbury's
 
thnx nomistheman and robert ill have look out for those

I emailed KTC ans asked if it's safe for internal use.
The reply said yes but no other information.
If you Google around you'll find many people have done the same .... it's cheap and suspicious and mine ended up in the bathroom as nit treatment for the grandchildrens visits and for my dry skin.
Tescos virgin is twice the price but a hell of a different product the moment you open it.
