You asked us - what kind of milk should I use in my coffee? Our answer - avoid commercial creamers and low fat/skim milk and opt for full fat milk or heavy cream instead. The commercial low-fat and artificial creamers you might come across tend to be highly processed and full of unnatural, harmful ingredients like high fructose syrup and artificial sweeteners which are associated with an increased risk of diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Low fat and fat free dairy products are associated with an increased risk for obesity. In the study linked below, the authors found that the evidence does not support the hypothesis that dairy fat or high-fat dairy foods contribute to obesity or cardiometabolic risk, and suggests that high-fat dairy consumption within typical dietary patterns is INVERSELY associated with obesity risk. In other words, drinking high fat dairy products reduces your risk of obesity. So when using milk, as with any food, use the stuff that comes as close to the way nature made it as possible for the best health benefits.
