True, I don't go out of my way for it, but I definitely have a sweet spot for root beer. The rest taste like liquid syrup. Also root beer floats are bomb.
Sugar, mainly. Oatly adds amylase to their mix which breaks down the oat starch into maltose, a type of sugar. While that is happening naturally during the digestive process since our saliva contains amylase, it doesn't happen in that amount, which means Oatly has significantly more sugar than natural oat milk. Maltose also has a glycemic index of 105, which means that it raises the blood sugar level more rapidly than even pure glucose. For reference, cane sugar has a GI of 60, lactose of 46. This means the sugar level of Oatly is effectively higher than Coca-Cola's.
If it's creamy, it's likely processed. Natural oat milk is quite watery. But just a shot in your coffee isn't worth worrying about anyway. It's just that many advertise it as a healthy, daily drink and for that, it has too much sugar.
Milk is only ever useful during your very first few years of your life after birth, after that, though, it doesn't do much. Add that to the fact that quite a bit of folks are lactose intolerant, and also the fact that I just dislike the taste of milk. That's all.
Some people want a flavored drink. If it's between fruit juice and soda though, juice is healthier and imo tastes better as well. Blackberry Izze is the best.
You can mix the fruit juice with water, that way you have flavored water without a ton of sugar.
While they do offer other nutrients (not a lot, mind you, as we're throwing away most of them), fruit juices have almost as much sugar as sodas. We were never meant to consume fruit like this - we're literally extracting the worst part of them.
Yeah I usually mix mine with carbonated water, they are too sweet anyway. Once mixed, they are likely less than 1/4th of the sugar of a coca cola and I only have 1 a day if I even have one. I think at that point the health impact is negligible.
I’m always amazed by how differently human tastes work. A cold can of Dr. Pepper is an absolute delight in my mind, a rare treat since I try to avoid drinking sweetened sodas.
But I know not only can humans differ in our enjoyment of the exact same experience, we may very well be experiencing them differently. Like how I despise cilantro and my wife loves it. Or how I can’t drink 80% of the craft beers in my area because something in the heavily hopped IPAs doesn’t hit my taste buds right, but my brothers-in-law can’t get enough.
Milk gives creates stinky gas in my belly that comes out my poo hole. E tier for me. Dr. Pepper has just as much sugar as the rest, so automatically F tier.
Milk should be with juices in D tier.
A tier is reserved for coffee and tea
B tier is fermented stuff like wine and beer
C tier is mixed stuff from superior tiers and lower tiers, capuccio, latte, shandy, distilled drinks
