Natural and artificial flavor


(Lynda White) #1

Anyone out there know what natural and artificial flavoring are in Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla and Chocolate Glazed Donut flavors. I can not find anywhere. On the box it states 100% Arabica coffee, coffee and natural and artificial flavor. Type 2 diabetic trying to figure out how to control blood sugar with a keto diet.

I just try to be as natural as possible. I drink plain roasted coffee with a bit hwc, grass fed butter and a splash of real vanilla extract. Sometimes I throw a piece of cinnamon log in the coffee grounds.

“Natural flavors” on an ingredient list can apparently cover a whole mess of things, including in some cases sugar.

Personally, I would avoid flavored ground coffee…too easy to end up with stuff you don’t want. If you really like flavors in your coffee (I do), consider sugar-free coffee syrups instead. While some folks have issues with anything sweet in terms of causing cravings, etc., the upside of the sugar-free syrups is that you can use as little as you want, rather than being tied to whatever was added to the ground beans.

I like adding a bit of cinammon bark too my ground coffee and a splash of real vanilla extract after brewing. Add nice natural flavoring. Getting ready to order some Torani (sp) syrup myself.

My coffee? It isn’t any bloody flavor. It’s bloody coffee bloody flavor.
