Why should you reject coffee creamer? Nutritionists have 5 reasons: Not a good thing

People who like to drink black coffee may choose to add a package of sweeteners to eat, or add a little brown sugar or a little sugar, or even a spoonful of cocoa powder. However, the food website Delish editor Taylor Ann Spencer pointed out that there is one thing she will never touch, that is coffee creamer.

Although many people like creamer, and you can see it in almost all buffet restaurants, shops and refrigerators in offices, this does not mean creamer is a good thing; the Shinz tournament lists the following items, and reasons to think twice before adding creamer:

without cream

Coffee creamer actually does not contain any cream, and its dairy content is zero. Aimi, director of Nucific Nutrition Department, a health management consultant. Dr. Amy Lee said that creamers will be white mainly "to make you feel good." But in fact, most creamer is made of corn sugar, water and partially hydrated vegetable oil, and is carefully prepared to achieve a creamy white sweetness.

Filled with chemical substances

Creamer also contains chemical substances such as thickeners and preservatives; thickeners such as Carrageenan and cellulose gum to help creamer achieve the thick and sweet texture that we expect for dairy products; preservatives such as butyl radixanisole (BHA) and butyl radix toluene (BHT) can prevent creamer from changing quality when staying in the office refrigerator for a long time. But the problem is that we know that thickening agents such as carrageenanis can cause inflammation and stomach tract problems, while preservatives such as BHA and BHT can harm the reproductive system.

Sugar content is over

Unless you choose a sugar-free version of creamer, most creamer has added sugar. Some popular brands contain up to five grams of sugar per spoon, which is equivalent to 10% of the recommended sugar per day.

Make you want to eat more sugar

Get a lot of sugar early in the morning, which will fluctuate your blood sugar greatly and make you want to eat sweets for the next time this day. As Dr. Li explained: "If you start a new day with a lot of sugar, your satisfaction and abdominal feeling will be improved. You are more likely to have the desire to eat sweets."

Sweetless creamer is worse

You may think that if I use sugarless creamer, you don't have to worry about these problems; then you may have to think about it again. In processed food industry, "no sugar" means that the company does not use corn sugar, but uses artificial sweeteners to get sweetness. This means that more chemical substances are added to the creamer.
