Artificial Sweeteners and Creamers

Artificial Sweeteners and Creamers

Some studies have suggested that artificial sweeteners may cause weight gain, changes in the natural balance of gut bacteria, and even increases the risk for type 2 diabetes.

There are also concerns that they reinforce the sweet taste, potentially leading to more intense and more often craving sugar. Some of the issues:

1. Small classic cup of creamer last 9 months

2. Powder form last 24 months

3. Room temperature: changing of temperatures and leaving creamers unrefrigerated will change the makeup of the additives put into the creamer.

4. When oils are hydrogenated, hydrogen molecules are added to change the texture and extend the shelf life of the products (how long until it goes bad)

5. The problem is that this processing changes the fat into a dangerous form.

6. Studies show that this type of fat can lead to Blood sugar issues, provoke inflammation, and increase the Bad blood cholesterol levels (LDL) while decreasing the good ones (HDL)

The problem with many coffee creamers is that most of them aren’t even made with Cream. Instead, they get that rich and creamy texture from thickening ingredients and Emulsifiers such as carrageenan.

There has been controversy around carrageenan. Some Evidence suggests that it triggers inflammation and damages your digestive system.

Coffee itself is full of health - boosting chemicals and qualities. But what you pour into it can quickly cancel out these helpers. It can also wreak havoc on a healthy weight loss plan.
