Does adding cream in coffee kill the antioxidants?
agua4211 asked:
I read coffee can have positive health affects on people who drink it. But I came across an article below that says adding milk to your coffee kills the antioxidants (which have the health benefits). Now does anyone know if adding non-dairy creamer would have the same affect on the antioxidants?

You have a great question. Coffee does seem to have some positive health benefits - I guess I will live to 100 with the wine I drink.
I have searched for medical article on Med line and could find nothing about non-dairy creamer being destructive to antioxidants. I think the answer to your question is that there is no documented scientific answer to your question.
It would be your own vitamin race.
I tend to think if you take a vitamin before you have your coffee with the non-dairy creamer the anti-oxidants from your vitamin might get through your intestinal wall before the creamer arrives.
