I've been thinking of 'solving' the creamer issue for myself lately and then I saw Hoffman's video. What do you swear by?

heavy cream has very few carbs, making it a purposeful choice in many diets

it’s extremely fatty though so you really shouldn’t use it super often if you have it in coffee

There's a number of recent diets that prefer fat over carbs.

Eating high saturated fats like those found in heavy cream isn’t a great idea on the daily. It can raise your cholesterol decently which can lead to build up in your arteries.

Low carb diets like that are probably fine short term but it’s not something you want to be on continuously due to the fat.

It's clear you care, so thank you =) Without going down a rabbit hole (I mean if you want to, we can lol), in my particular case the opposite worked. Yes my cholesterol is high, but due to the specifics of my diet, it's all HDL and very little LDL, so I'm golden. I also no longer have atherosclerosis and a zero calcium score.(yay!)

I think humankind still has much to learn about ourselves.

Oh man that’s great! Congrats!! Always amazing to overcome health challenges like that.

Yeah I agree lol, I mean who knows what half of this processed stuff is doing to us. Might be causing the rapidly falling fertility across the world given that microplastics have been found in wombs :(
