Does anyone know if drinking coffee black stops autophagy and "technically" breaks a fast? I seem to recall reading that a while ago, but can't find the source.

- grzm 5y agoDepends on what you're trying to accomplish with the fast. If the goal is gut rest, you're probably breaking the fast to some extent. As for autophagy, as far as I know there are no good biomarkers to determine autophagy levels, so it's hard to say whether black coffee stops autophagy, or even whether you've entered a state of increased autophagy as a result of the fast, regardless of length or methodology. It'd be great to have some, though.
