Blood glucose rose 1 mg/dL
Ridiculous claim. I’ll keep my morning coffee
An 8 oz cup of black coffee contains from 0.5-2 grams of carbohydrates. If you drink 3 12 oz coffees each morning then that's up to 9 grams of carbs...

The replies to this are hilarious
“1/2 tsp baking soda”
“What are you trying to kill us?!?!”
“Have you tried lead paint chips?”
“Your organs aren’t dirty dishes!”
Same reply guys who think you need Life Alert for a 48 hr fast
Is RHB is in the pockets of Big Sodium Carbonate…
Have you tried the 1/2 tsp baking soda in water before bed
