Me too!. I also generally loathe UK standard tea (the smell of tea - either leaves/bags or in a mug) makes me feel ill.
This is a great point: tea keeps wonderfully well: milk is a short-lived annoyance. It's very liberating to just enjoy your tea and coffee without the bother of milk.I drink tea and coffee black, no milk, or creamer, or cream so I do not have the worry of the shops running out of nutrient-rich liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals.
You're right. I have an Italian friend who does not understand how people can drink coffee with milk or cream. He keeps saying that if I came to Italy and ordered a latte or cappuccino, everyone would know right away that I'm not from there.I suspect people who add cream to coffee don't really like the taste of coffee, an Italian would be horrified at the very idea. However a splash of milk in a cup of ground coffee doesn't distort the flavour and removes any bitterness, well worth the 2g or so of carbs.
I'm not too fond of milk, but I would sell my soul for a cup of coffee with milkI know doctors are generally optimistic about adding milk to a cup of coffee, preferably skim milk. Milk is good for diabetes but cream is not really. They (even skimmed) significantly increase calories and raise blood glucose levels.
I thought it was not naff to have cappucino before 11? Can a native please comment! Double expresso when in Rome then.You're right. I have an Italian friend who does not understand how people can drink coffee with milk or cream.

Why do you think that?Milk is good for diabetes but cream is not really
I got it. I'll definitely read this forum, thank you.You have that the wrong way round. Only full fat milk or dairy is recommended for those who have a carb intolerance. Less carbs and good fats, cream is full fat and much more preferable. It's about carbs and not calories.
This means that you can control your blood glucose levels better.
I have lactose intolerance, but for some strange reason, full fat Greek yogurt, I can eat, because it is natural and organic and full fat. And very few carbs.
Have a read of our low carb forum and our success stories.
Keep safe.
My doctor advised me not to overdo it with cream.Why do you think that?
Nope, that's about right for my bucket of tea. People think I drink it strong, but really I just introduce it to the cowThat's probably right for a small teacup. I need 2 of those in a mug of coffee.
Did they give you any sensible reason why that would be a problem?My doctor advised me not to overdo it with cream.
He didn't say it would be a problem; he just advised to reduce consumption of cream cause they contain saturated fats, and it increases insulin resistance. He said it's better to buy nonfat or low-fat cream.Did they give you any sensible reason why that would be a problem?
to reduce consumption of cream cause they contain saturated fats, and it increases insulin resistance.
...it's the nonsense that he has been taught to believe. If the doctor was diabetic himself he would know that what he has been taught is wrong.Ok ... he's talking nonsense but...
Really?Ok ... he's talking nonsense but...
Really?
