Research in the Centre for Nutrition, Exercise & Metabolism at the University of Bath (UK) looked at the impact of sleep and morning coffee across a selection of different metabolic markers.

Strong black coffee consumed before breakfast considerably increased the blood sugar response to breakfast by about 50%.

Coffee has become the world’s most popular beverage, with approximately two billion cups consumed daily. In the US about half of the people in the USA aged 18 and over drink coffee daily, whilst in the united kingdom, according to the British Coffee Association, 80% of families purchase instant coffee for in-home consumption.
