What happens when you drink coffee creamer every day
You may be putting ingredients in your body you didn't know about
Though some brands boast that they are sugar-free and fat-free, that might not be a positive thing.
In addition to oils and thickeners, creamers can contain chemicals from artificial sweetener.
So even though you might save on ingesting a few calories, the positives don't seem to outweigh the negatives.
Unfortunately, even some brands that contain real dairy use thickeners and stabilizers.
That being said, there are some natural brands on the market that offer healthy alternatives, like vegan and sugar-free creamer.
An almond- or macadamia nut-based creamer may be free of GMOs, gluten, and other potentially-harmful ingredients, but it is worth noting you may sacrifice on creaminess and taste to cut out all the "bad" stuff, although, that's not always the case.
The takeaway?
Check labels and know exactly what you're putting in your coffee.
