Common Questions and Answers about Benefits of coffee with cream
coffee
I am currently taking levothyroxine, and was wondering if its ok to have my morning coffee with real cream? The first thing I do in the mornings is take my levothyroxine, and then have my coffee.. I always wait 30 minutes or so before having my breakfast.. I have received many different answers to my questions.. Can someone help me?
It depends, how much makes a big difference. One or two cups late morning and afternoon has many benefits but not every day. Coffee is like a buggy whip, it can be overdone. It must be black. It is much different when you add cream and sugar. Some coffee is more like a milk shake with a little coffee flavor. If you don't like it black, you really don't like coffee.
There are a lot of mixed medical opinions out there regarding this so you should do what you feel comfortable with both physically and emotionally...caffeine is tough to kick so if you decide to cut it out of your diet do it slowly by switching to a mix of decaf and regular...I personally gave it up while I was prego but I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks...however I quickly went back to my old habit and it is a b**** to kick it again!
Im not at home long enough to drink four pots of coffee straight so I have a container of coffee in my car as a back up and I have a coffee maker in there too. In the mini fridge in my office I have whipped cream, caramel, chocolate syrup, and ice for making iced coffee. On my desk I have seven different types of coffee cups and mugs.
For instance, studies evaluating the effect of green tea – popularly considered a “healthier” source of caffeine – have not shown the benefits associated with filtered, caffeinated coffee. This lack of benefit appears to be true for sources of caffeine other than green tea as well.
Lastly, coffee should ideally be prepared by filtration because filtering removes cafestol and kahweol, two substances found in coffee that may increase serum cholesterol.
So, What Do We Tell Our Patients?
I really enjoy this ritual, and always have my coffee with a meal, or in the morning, at least with a big blueberry muffin or coffee cake, so it absorbs the acids.
If this is your first time, trying coffee on a daily basis, you may want to start with a small cup, to find out how jitterey you will be feeling, about half an hour after you drink. I have gotten jittery before, but then I just eat a meal.
This is my second child. I'm 10 weeks. My doctor said two cups of caffeine is ok. I drank a cup of coffee a day with my son.
I'm a first timer. My appointment with my doctor isn't until next week. I've had a single cup of coffee for the past few days but now I'm worrying. There is so much conflicting information about caffeine and pregnancy. Thoughts?
