The Scary Reason Why You Should NEVER Add Creamer To Your Coffee

However, it’s key to keep your coffee as simple as possible, and by that we mean it’s time to skip the sugars and the creamers. In fact, there’s one scary reason why you shouldn’t add creamer to your coffee. 

Creamer isn’t the best for you and your waistline and we’ll let the experts explain why. Eat This, Not That! recommends skipping over flavored creamers since they can be devoid of dairy and contain lots of sugar. The food website says it’s best to choose a splash of milk in your coffee since milk is the best “creamer” there is due to the calcium and vitamins found in milk.

In an interview with Byrdie, dietitian and nutritionist Kristen Carli offered some invaluable advice on how to approach making your coffee each morning. “Ask yourself: How much creamer do you put in per cup? How many cups do you drink each morning? Depending on the creamer and how much you put in your coffee each morning, you can very easily hit your limit on added sugars per day,” Carli explained. What great advice!

Remember: Stick to a basic black cup of coffee for the sake of your gut health, and add just a splash of milk if cream is an absolute essential for you.
