There are many people like to add milk when drinking coffee, the color of coffee with milk will become lighter and the visual effect will be better. Coffee with milk is also more popular in taste. But liquid milk needs to be refrigerated, so it is very inconvenient to use. In the 1960s, Nestl é developed something called "coffee companion" to replace milk, and in some places it is called cream, which is actually the industrial "fat plant". It is very popular because it is powder and does not need to be refrigerated.

The first ingredient of plant fat powder is "glucose syrup", a slightly sweet mixture that thickens the solution after hydrolysis of starch. The second ingredient is "hydrogenated vegetable oil", a semi-solid oil formed by artificial catalytic hydrogenation of soybean oil or rapeseed oil. The third ingredient is sodium caseinate, and the rest are three types of food additives: stabilizers, emulsifiers and anticaking agents.

After artificial catalytic hydrogenation, most of the natural unsaturated fatty acids in vegetable oil become saturated fatty acids, and the unsaturated fatty acids may lose their natural cis structure and produce unnatural "trans fatty acids".

The nutrition community is convinced that trans fatty acids are more dangerous than saturated fatty acids, which only raise blood lipids but do not lower beneficial high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Some new studies have initially shown that trans fatty acids may also increase the incidence of breast cancer and diabetes, and may affect the growth and development of children and the health of the nervous system.

So what should I do if I drink coffee without a coffee companion? The best way is to add hot whole milk directly. Milk coffee is not only equally fragrant, but also has higher nutritional value.

It is best to drink less three-in-one coffee, because it not only contains cream but also contains a lot of sugar!
