Why can't you drink coffee before LDL Cholesterol and triglyceride tests?

I work in a lab and we always tell our patients that they can drink black coffee with no sugar and no cream. So yes you may have plain, black coffee. The cream and sugar from the coffee would falsely elevate your cholesterol.

Can you have non dairy creamer before a blood test?
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.

Can you drink black decaf coffee before a blood test?
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.
