Does adding cream in coffee kill the antioxidants?
April 7th, 2009 | Posted by admin | Category: antioxidants2 Comments
I read coffee can have positive health affects on people who drink it. But I came across an article below that says adding milk to your coffee kills the antioxidants (which have the health benefits). Now does anyone know if adding non-dairy creamer would have the same affect on the antioxidants?

That is a new one on me. I would love to see the research on it.
However, milk or cream does really change the flavor of coffee. I maintain that good coffee (high quality beans, fresh roasted, properly brewed) doesn't need milk or sugar. Additives mask both the tastes that are unique to varietal beans, origins, and the roasting method.
So, be safe and skip the milk! Better flavor and maybe better health!
enjoy!
Which is better for you: Vitamin Water or Snapple Antioxidant Water?
April 7th, 2009 | Posted by admin | Category: antioxidant5 Comments
Not necessarily which one tastes better, but which one is better for you overall?
Are there any other flavored waters like that that are healthier and taste better?
Thanks for all answers in advance.
I'd go with the Vitamin Water…..the Snapple Antioxidant lists sugar as the second most ingredient behind water, which is basically a watered down soda. The vitamin water is sugary as well so IMO they are both terrible and basically just gimmick…
Here are the ingredients of each…..
Vitamin water:
Vapor distilled, deionized water and/or reverse osmosis water, crystalline fructose, citric acid, vegetable juice (color), ascorbic acid (vitamin C), natural flavor, berry and fruit extracts (acai, blueberry, pomegranate and apple), magnesium lactate (electrolyte), calcium lactate (electrolyte), monopotassium phosphate (electrolyte), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine hydrochloride (B6), cyanocobalamin (B12)
Snapple Antioxidant Water:
Purified water, sugar, potassium citrate (electrolyte), citric acid, natural flavors, fruit and vegetable juices (for color), modified corn starch, calcium lactate (electrolyte), calcium gluconate (electrolyte), magnesium lactate (electrolyte), vitamin E acetate, calcium disodium edta (to maintain freshness), grape seed extract, zinc gluconate (electrolyte), vitamin A palmitate, EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), manganese gluconate (electrolyte).
