Yes, if it's black. It's better to fast completely though.
No you can't have anything. It is a fasting blood test.
If you drink too much caffeine you may become The Great Cornholio and need t.p. for your bunghole! :) But in all do seriousness, as long as it is black with no sugar and especially no creamer, your test will be accurate. Just be sure it is straight black coffee though, nothing else added.
If you drink alcohol 12 hours before the blood test for cholesterol, its traces will be found in the blood sample. It is therefore advisable not to drink alcohol.
no
That might depend on what the blood test is for. If you are doing fasting labwork for cholesterol or diabetes, it can effect the results. Even though the non dairy creamer is cholesterol free, it does contain sugars. These sugars can increase the fasting sugar level as well as the triglyceride portion of the cholesterol. It is recommended that if you are asked to be fasting for a lab, that you only drink water or black coffee prior to the lab.

User responses: No. From what I have read caffeine does affect cholesterol levels and/or the way they can be interpreted when reading results of a cholesterol blood test. I would suggest that you be clean of any caffeine - three or more days ahead of time - to obtain a caffeine-free result.Advice seems to vary. Some say that black coffee (no sugar, no milk) is fine. Sources for that listed below.
No, coffee and Splenda will not affect cholesterol levels.
No. The test is a fasting blood test so you don't eat or drink anything before the test from midnight the night before until the test is done. Best to do the test first thing in the morning.
Any food or drink other than water (including coffee, tea and soft drinks) consumed within 9 to 12 hours of a cholesterol test can affect blood cholesterol.
