Anything in excess is bad for you! If you are drinking these kinds of drinks every day and you want to be healthy, you need to change your habits. Coming from someone with Crohn’s disease who has had to do considerable research on dietary issues, it is true that all of that refined sugar is not good for your body, but the artificial sweeteners are worse! I began drinking two cups of coffee a day at work, since my doctor told me that some coffee was ok (there are beneficial tannins in coffee, but lots of caffeine is not a good thing). Things were going fine until I began to add cream and sugar. Within a couple of weeks I noticed a difference in my complexion. The table sugar and even the lactose in the milk require extra effort from the gut to digest. While a healthy person may not be able to see the same results as quickly, his/her body is dealing with the same effects. The bottom line: don’t make this sort of drink a staple item in your life, but if you want a treat every now and then, enjoy the real thing — whole milk and all.

(P.S. Great recommendation Itruss. Honey is much easier to digest (albeit too strong for my taste in coffee, but great in teas). Also, I recently discovered agave nectar and found it to be a quite adequate sweetener for my coffee.)

Caffeine is a psychoactive drug. If you are going to use a drug, you should recognize it as a drug. You can buy over-the-counter caffeine pills. 1 pill is 200 mg (a strong cup of coffee) and costs about 20 cents, and has ZERO fat, calories, or sugar. I am a caffeine user, but I wish our society would recognize it as a dug rather than treating it like a beverage.

It’s irresponsible to recommend sugar-free foods like you often do on this blog. Sweet ‘n Low, Equal and others like them are terrible for you! They are unnatural and we still don’t know the potential long-term health effects of using them frequently. It’s better to use honey or agave, which are natural sweeteners, if you must indulge a sweet tooth. Those items may contain calories, but at least they aren’t made up of chemicals! This blog should only be called low-fat or low-calorie, not healthy!

I used to drink three pots of coffee per day (ah, the desk job life) but had to quit due to health reasons and now I just drink green tea. It was hell at first but I’m much better off now. So if you REALLY want to take care of your health, dump the coffee altogether.
