Robert Whitfield MD explains why some coffees make you jittery and tired while others don't: mold contamination. Mold damages mitochondria and shows up in coffee, wine, beer, and grains, triggering fatigue and sugar cravings. He brews his own coffee when traveling to avoid it.
So different cups of coffee can make you feel very different, especially if you're mold sensitive. For me, I discovered this because after five years of no coffee, I had a cup of coffee and I felt so good. And then the next day I had a different cup of pie and coffee and I felt like crap. I'm like, I couldn't have got allergic to coffee in one day. And when I unpacked all this, I'm like, oh my God, it's in wine, it's in beer, it's in grain because it's not controlled in coffee. It's a big issue and it's in the air and it affects your mitochondria, which is that jittery, tired, I need sugar feeling because my lab data showed I was exposed by breathing it and I know that it's in coffee. I still to this day feel a difference from street coffee. I don't drink it. I brew my own coffee when I travel.
