NO Coffee Creamer!

Carnation Evaporated Full Cream Milk, 400g ($1.60)

We are quitting all powder or liquid non dairy creamer like Coffee-mate after learning about its content. Ingredients that goes into the pack of creamer are MOSTLY synthetic with names requiring a dictionary to understand; and "hydrogenated" palm kernel oil might be the chief culprit!

In hydrogenation, the manufacturer could turn a liquid oil into solid with longer shelf life therefore increasing its portability. In such process, natural oils are converted into totally unnatural fats which are known to have serious health implications.

It was understood that what's not natural, when consumed into our body, is difficult to be remove by the body system! Akin to consuming plastic.

So we have make the switch to canned evaporated milk for our coffee; though it definitely doesn't taste as good as the creamer and needs refrigeration in the fridge; i guess we appreciate the healthier alternative.
