Can you get the 'beetus from coffee?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Can you get the 'beetus from coffee? (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 12/20/2017 7:09:43 PM EDT

Lately I've been drinking at least 4 to 5 8oz cups a day but I am going through creamer like crazy. I just love loading it up with creamer especially this one which tastes like ice cream

My concern is I'm going to get the beetus or am I more at risk of that if I eat starchy carbs and not real sugar?

Ya I guess so. I wouldn't say failed though. I'd say delicious.

Learn to drink your coffee black, like it was intended.

Or you can keep putting that crap in your coffee and get diabetes from your liquid candy bar.

Maybe no diabetes, but if you use a paperless/filterless method, you might be elevating your cholesterol levels a bit. Lots of info from some bit studies out there.

I use Splenda and half and half now.

Not coffee, actually a breakfast milkshake .

And I'm not an anti-creamer guy, I usually put a splash of whole milk in my evening coffee if I am feeling particularly plucky

My father in law drank loads of coffee with lots of cream and sugar. Type 2 diabetic and lost his gallbladder.

He switched to black and dropped a lot of weight, and the diabetes is gone.

Yikes. Gonna have to stop this habit and learn to drink it black. Or just stop drinking it altogether. I just recently got into coffee to stay awake during the long work hours despite me never drinking it in my life.

do you put sweetener in your coffee or vice versa?

I drink it like my best girlfriend from the 80s. Hot, Black and Bitter.

Splenda is basically adding chemicals to your coffee.

Everything is chemistry, these days.

Until you can show me a bona fide study, like the Baylor and Harvard studies on cholesterol increase in filterless coffee brewing, regarding Splenda being adverse to one's health, my comment stands.

If one were trying to get the beetus, it would be a difficult combination to beat.

Dunno, I drink coffee black.

If there is family history of the beetus, you will most likely turn that switch on if you keep consuming that, in addition to whatever else you are putting in your mouth throughout the day.

Another tidbit, artificial sweeteners will accelerate complications of diabetes more so than real sugar. All those diet drinks and sodas, chemical packets people use in their teas, food, etc....no good.

Nothing wrong with cream, butter or coconut oil in your coffee. That stuff you are using is sugar mostly, so yes, not good long term.

Next to coffee machines at work is half/half and gallon squirt top jugs of that flavored creamer crap. Bought my lead a coffee one day and watched him squirt a bunch of that shit in his cup first. I pointed at the danishes, laughed and said "why dont you stir one of these into it instead ya pansy!"

Srsly, OP, you don't have to give up your covfefe. Just cut down on other carbs to make up for it. Check out the big Keto Diet thread for tips.

I'm a sugar guy--turbinado and demerara to be exact.

Splenda is what I can tolerate, versus the other sweeteners. I think that it's the least offensive of all the popular brands.

I've tried the CoffeeMates and just prefer a bit of HnH.

Absolutely. A properly brewed coffee tastes excellent without sugar or cream

Black or with butter, coconut oil, heavy cream, and maybe a few squirts of stevia.

Coffee was made to be consumed black. Sans the fru-fru bullshit.

Heavy whipping cream has zero sugar or carbs in it. Add a sliver of quality butter and you have a wholesome beverage without the bitterness of straight black or aftertaste of artificial sweeteners.

Flavored creamer is sickeningly sweet once you get used to unmolested coffee.

Posted: 12/20/2017 8:17:55 PM EDT

[#49]

Creamer isn't the biggest problem in that....that has lots of sugar too.... Plain half and half or heavy whipping cream would be a better option if you can't stand it black. When I switched from heavily sugared coffee I needed half and half only while I transitioned to black..., just use less over time until you don't use any.

Coffee is a diuretic. So that means you are dehydrated and full of sugar. You do the math.

Drink it black if you want to live.
