Bulletproof coffee or bullet coffee is black coffee with added clarified butter or ghee added to it.

2. Studies have shown that bullet coffee had no benefits over black coffee except that unfortunately, it only increased calorie intake.

1. But despite being endorsed by celebrities including Jacqueline Fernandez, Aditi Rao Hydari, Krtiti Sanon, and Rakul Preet Singh, bulletproof coffee  has no additional  health benefits.

3. Research also showed that consuming bulletproof coffee did nothing to boost immunity.

4. According to a review shared by 'The Liver Doctor' Cyriac Abby Philips, there were no significant improvements in cognition, alertness, or energy levels from bulletproof coffee compared to regular coffee. 

5. The impact on hunger, satiety, resting energy expenditure, and fat oxidation appeared equivocal, with effects offset by the additional calorie intake of bulletproof coffee. "Meaning, bullet coffee is the Mr Hyde version of good old plain black coffee," Dr Philips said.

The liver specialist also recommended drinking black coffee instead. :Stick to regular black coffee minus the added sugar.  It is the best," he said.
