Sugar in Coffee – To Forgo or to Indulge Without Reservation?

Sugar in coffee is not only a well-known hit by Erik Silvester but for many, an everyday ritual. But isn't sweet coffee unhealthy?

On our blog, we have already written a declaration of love for black coffee. We wrote about the health benefits and the special flavor nuances of black coffee and dispelled old prejudices. It is quite clear: We simply love coffee in its original form, pure, unaltered, simply black. However, we naturally know that there are still a large number of people who enjoy their coffee with the addition of milk and sugar. Yet sugar, in particular, has fallen into disrepute due to the trend towards conscious nutrition, and many a sugar-in-coffee lover now thinks twice about whether to add the beloved sweetener to their coffee or not. We will explain to you what sugar actually is, why it is so often added to coffee, whether sugar in coffee is truly unhealthy, and what alternatives there are to white granulated sugar.
