SENIOR WAKE-UP CALL

5 Surprisingly Common Ingredients You Should NEVER Drink with Your Morning Coffee

Top U.S. Doc recommends you drink this “energizing glue” for a healthier way to jump-start your morning instead

Folks have been drinking coffee for centuries!


In fact, the coffee plant was once considered a “medicinal herb” almost 1,200 years ago.


With its long list of health benefits, like boosting your metabolism, energy, and even helping to protect heart health—beans and grounds aren’t the problem when it comes to today's modern health problems.


That nagging joint pain and stubborn belly fat have almost nothing to do with your brew…


And everything to do with those sweet, flavorful, or creamy “extras” that are so commonly added in.


You see, it's what you pour INTO your coffee that may cause daily joint pain, bloating, inflammation, dangerous cholesterol levels, persistent sugar cravings, and yes… even extra, jiggly belly fat.

So, if you take your coffee with cream and sugar, a couple splashes of creamer, or find yourself in the cafe drive-through weekly…


Consider this your wake-up call to bid your go-to coffee order farewell.


To help you ease frustrating joint pain and stubborn weight problems, we recommend you print this list of common coffee companions to avoid…


And check out a natural coffee companion specifically designed to support your metabolism, cognitive function, skeletal strength, and more!

1. Artificial Sweetener Packets (Splenda)

This may be a little shocking for anyone who has been told zero-calorie or zero-sugar substitutes are “healthier.”


The reality is that colorful sweetener packets, like Sweet n’ Low and Splenda, contain harmful chemicals, which are often linked to a slower metabolism, weight gain, and gut problems in women.


In fact, a study by the National Library of Medicine with 31,940 participants showed that saccharin, a popular ingredient in artificial sweeteners, contributed to a steady 8-year weight gain in middle-aged to senior women.


Additional research has also shown that artificial sweeteners come with possible side effects, including:

❌ Bloating

❌ Weak Gut Microbiome

❌ Diarrhea or Stomach Discomfort

❌ Nausea

❌ Increased Risk of Type II Diabetes

It’s safe to say artificial sweeteners are anything BUT “healthy alternatives.”


Instead, opting for an all-natural sweetener like monk fruit or coconut sugar in your cup of coffee is typically safer for most individuals.

2. Commercial Creamers (CoffeeMate, International Delight)

Did you know that most coffee "creamers" aren't actually made with cream at all?


If you've ever looked at the back of a CoffeeMate or International Delight label, you’ll find a laundry list of ingredients that contain everything but dairy, including fillers, gums, and inflammatory oils.


Not to mention all the added chemicals and refined sugars that keep this drink convenient and “tasty.”


These creamers are bad news for anyone who suffers from achy joints or swollen feet…


Why?

Recent research has shown that hydrogenated vegetable oils inhibit an enzyme crucial for blood flow regulation and instead aggravate an inflammatory response in the body.


So if that morning cup of joe is your first drink of the day, you fill an empty stomach with toxic sludge that saps your energy and causes inflammation.


The bottom line is: Don't let the colorful, “dairy-free” packaging fool you. Creamers are nothing but harmful ingredients that can add inches to your middle and cause harmful inflammation throughout your body.

3. Flavored Syrups

Unfortunately, when you add flavored syrup to your coffee, you're essentially sipping a massive sugar bomb first thing in the morning.


You see, most syrups like caramel, mocha, or your seasonal holiday flavors, like pumpkin spice and peppermint, are straight-up sugar.


The initial surge in sugar can send your blood sugar levels soaring, giving you a quick burst of energy.


But what goes up must come down… you’ll eventually crash, and it usually hits right around mid-afternoon. You feel drained and sluggish, craving another sugar fix to keep you going.

It's a vicious cycle.


And it's not just your energy levels that suffer. The constant spike and drop in blood sugar can wreak havoc on your metabolism over time.


So, that extra weight around your middle? It might not just be from the calories in your flavored coffee—it could result from your body's struggle to regulate its metabolism.


The bottom line: If you’re worried about unsightly belly fat or a weak metabolism, cutting back on those sugary syrups could be a simple yet impactful step toward better health.

4. Oat and Nut Milks

You may be surprised to learn that many mainstream nut milk brands, often marketed as “healthier alternatives,” are far from nutritious.


With store-bought nut milk, you’re missing out on the nutritional benefits you would expect to gain from drinking dairy-free milk…


Misleading labels fail to disclose that some of these products may contain as little as 2% actual nuts.


This means the almond milk you drink with your coffee contains approximately 98% water, additives, and only a few almonds.


Not to mention, additives like seed oils, prevalent in brands such as Oatly, can trigger inflammation and digestive issues, further undermining nut milk's perceived healthiness.


While making homemade nut milk or purchasing premium all-natural options may seem costly… it’s nothing compared to possible doctor visits, surgeries, medications, and future health conditions.

5. Conventional Dairy (Milk, Half & Half)

Right now, you may be thinking... “So I can't have dairy-free OR conventional dairy products in my morning coffee?”


The short answer? YES!


Unfortunately, today's food industry has shifted from providing wholesome, nutritious foods to chasing profits and prioritizing convenience.


Many dairy products on grocery store shelves are laden with additives, such as bleach, hormones, preservatives, antibiotics, and extra sugar, to make them "readily available" and cheap.

Moreover, a study published by the National Library of Medicine found pesticides and other harmful contaminants, like antibiotics and growth hormones, in up to 60% of the conventional dairy products used during the study.


So, unless you're choosing premium-quality, naturally sourced dairy or farming your own dairy…


Your regular half-and-half is just turning your morning brew into a mixture laced with unwanted antibiotics and hormones.


It may be wise to reconsider using milk in coffee altogether and just opt for a cup of black coffee instead.
