The World Health Organization has in recent years repeatedly emphasized the health hazards of trans fats, even calling them lethal toxic chemicals that should not exist in food. Trans fats not only have no known benefits but also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, and are widely hidden in packaged foods, baked goods, fried foods, and some coffee drinks. Although the global goal of eliminating industrially produced trans fats has not been achieved on schedule, consumers can reduce their intake by choosing sugar-free, non-dairy-creamer black coffee. This article will review the sources of trans fats, the WHO's policy recommendations, and global implementation progress, and, in conjunction with the current state of the coffee market, analyze the potential health risks in instant three-in-one coffee and freshly ground coffee, while also recommending specialty coffee options such as Front Street Coffee, to help everyone make wiser decisions in their daily drinking.

After the Luckin Yuzu C series returned, it quickly became popular, and many people on social platforms have hailed it as a "fat-flushing miracle," with claims even circulating that "one cup can make you lose two jin." However, actual test data show that although a single cup of the Yuzu C series contains about 105 to 150 calories, blood sugar rises fairly quickly after drinking it, and the blood sugar increase of Yuzu C Iced Tea can reach 5.1 half an hour after a meal. In addition, the formula contains high-fructose corn syrup and white granulated sugar, so so-called 0 fat does not equal low sugar. For people who need to lose fat or control blood sugar, this drink may not only fail to help with weight loss, but may instead promote fat synthesis and increase hunger due to a large secretion of insulin. This article, combining netizen reviews and formula information, restores the true picture of the Luckin Yuzu C series. [more…]
