It’s okay for Bears to have a little bit of coffee, but too much of it could have a negative effect depending on certain physiological factors…including Blood pH and blood sugars.

If you are a Bear that has a normal blood pH and had a normal Glucose Tolerance Test result, then having a cup a day won’t hurt. The Bears that need to be careful about their coffee and caffeine intake are those that had an acidic blood pH (below 7.420).

Having either of these test results shows that sugar is not the best thing for you. Caffeine can affect the blood in the same manner that carbohydrates/sugar does- it acidifies the blood and aggravates hypoglycemic symptoms. These are the patients that we tell to always have a source of protein along with carbs. You are someone who can feel fatigued from sugar and caffeine because of its effect on blood sugar.
