Coffee is healthy, but added creamers can alter its benefits. Many coffee creamers are processed, containing saturated fats and added sugars, which can contribute to health issues. Opting for coffee creamers with less sugar and fat is better, especially considering the typical serving size is one tablespoon. Dairy creamers are natural but may have additives, while plant-based creamers often include gums and emulsifiers. Healthier options exist, such as organic cream from grass-fed cows or unsweetened, additive-free plant-based alternatives. For a healthier choice, consider making homemade creamer with natural ingredients like hemp seeds, which provide beneficial fats without added sugars or unhealthy fats.
