Your argument is ad hominem. The man who wrote this article has posted sources for each claimed benefit.

That is a small collection of supporting research in sources neither of us is qualified to verify of individual parts of this dietary suggestion. Not conclusive research into Bulletproof coffee itself. Some pieces being seemingly supportive doesn't mean anything about the whole.

neither of us is qualified

That kind of thinking is how we got the government sanctioned food pyramid. I'd rather think for myself, thanks.

There's nothing fallacious about using heuristics to judge credibility.

As for the sources given in the article, not a single one is credible.

Care to elaborate, or are you just throwing mud?

Pointing out that sources aren't credible is throwing mud now?
