Theory as to why this is: caffeine boosts serotonin and serotonin increases guy motility. The faster the food transits, the less you can absorb and you lose weight. Higher levels of serotonin also reduce sugar craving.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 4y agoMost caffeine ingestion seems to be in the form of sugary coffee or energy drinks.
- Scoundreller 4y agonot coffee? I go through a pot of black every day.
- yumraj 4y agocoffee doesn't need to be sugary.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 4y agoMy anecdotal sampling of orders at a coffee shop says it is common.
- mlyle 4y agoWhen I buy fivebucks coffee, sure I get a sweet drink. But 99% of my consumption is my own cold brew. No sugar, brewed very strong, and then with just enough milk to bring out the flavor.

- pengaru 4y agoCoffee shops are not representative of everyone's routine coffee consumption. By my anecdotal sampling a good portion of the population would never pay coffee shop prices for what they drink daily to function.
- yumraj 4y agoI rarely buy coffee at a shop and make at home. Even at the shop, I'm the person who gets drip coffee, black. The fact that they have a big pot tells me there are others who get drip coffee.
- Gigachad 4y agoDepends what country. In Australia I’ve not seen anyone ever put sugar in coffee. I’d say the vast majority order a flat white which is an espresso with foamed milk, no added sugar, and the rest get “an espresso” which is just a raw shot with nothing added.

- zxexz 4y agoWhere are you getting that data from? Sure, a lot of people like some sugar in their coffee, but I’d definitely be hesitant to call it most people, off the cuff. I prefer just enough cream to change the color visibly, or black. No sugar. I’d say 80% of my friends also don’t want sugar.
- pdntspa 4y agoMy coffee is black like my soul
- cableshaft 4y agoI just put a little half and half in my coffee. Or have unsweetened iced tea. Or diet soda (which I should really stop having).
- tomjen3 4y agoIt is certainly possible. However if you figure that each office worker drinks 2 cups a day at the office, and most don't get Star Bucks more than once per week, most coffee is still not some crazy sugar consumption. How energy drinks etc fits in here, I don't know.
- perfecto_maduro 4y agoWould this also apply to SSRI medication?
- DiscourseFan 4y agoYes, SSRIs are actually commonly prescribed for IBS. Something like 90% of the serotonin in your body is in your gut. Psychedelics like Shrooms and LSD, which mimic serotonin, completely cut off appetite. The effects of SSRIs on weight are various. Serotonergic drugs are a huge class, it's hard to classify their effects, but primarily they are gastrointenstinal and psychological. All I know is that I've taken enough acid now where even caffeine makes me trip out a little. Still drinking green tea though. There's some anxiolytic compound in there, L-theanine, which mitigates the negative effects of caffeine use.
- EamonnMR 4y agoIt's dopamine related, same as other stimulants.
