Butter coffee, also sometimes referred to as bulletproof coffee, is almost exactly what it sounds like. Take a cup of black coffee and drop a bit of butter into it. Though the name doesn’t indicate this, you also need to add a little coconut oil. Upon hearing about butter coffee, people generally fall into one of two camps. Either you are disgusted at the notion and determine never to try it or you are more laid-back and think “Sure, why not?”
If you are still puzzled about why this drink exists, here’s a bit of backstory. In 2009, Dave Asprey, a businessman, launched and trademarked Bulletproof coffee. He got the idea during his travels in Tibet, where yak butter（酥油）tea is common. He marketed and sold the concept as a low-carbon, high-fat breakfast alternative that would help people lose weight and be energized.
Despite all of Asprey’s claims, there are not many benefits to butter coffee, especially if anyone skips meals and replaces them with the drink. While cutting out carbohydrates（碳水化合物）may be good for people with type 2 diabetes, a low-carbon diet is usually only recommended for a short period of time. And though the fat from the butter may keep you feeling full for a while, there are a number of downsides to adding a couple of tablespoons to your morning coffee.
Doctors point out that the amount of fat in butter coffee is higher than most recommended daily amounts. Additionally, a breakfast of butter and coffee does not contain nutrients that are essential to a healthy diet.
