When Gwyneth Paltrow sits down for her morning coffee, the 53-year-old actress likes to drink it topped with \u201craw cream,\u201d she told\u00a0British Vogue<\/a>\u00a0in a new interview that provided a peek inside her breakfast habits.<\/p>\n

But while the Goop founder\u2019s preference for unpasteurized dairy might spark some curiosity, nutrition experts caution against the choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cRaw milk can contain a variety of disease-causing pathogens,\u201d said Kelly Springer, a Skaneateles, New York-based registered dietitian and nutritionist. \u201cThere have been many scientific studies that have demonstrated the risk associated with drinking raw milk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Springer told Fox News Digital that fears around pasteurization are misplaced.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a myth that pasteurization decreases milk\u2019s nutritional quality, but that is truly a myth,\u201d she said. \u201cPasteurization effectively kills raw-milk pathogens without harming the milk quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her remarks echo guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), both of which warn that consuming\u00a0unpasteurized dairy products\u00a0can lead to bacterial infections.<\/p>\n

While Springer focused on safety, Lauren Manaker, a South Carolina-based registered dietitian and author, applauded Paltrow\u2019s openness about enjoying a chocolate-covered Oreo.<\/p>\n

Paltrow admitted to enjoying the\u00a0late-night snack\u00a0that she called \u201ctrans fat to the max.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI love that Gwyneth is openly talking about indulging in a chocolate-covered Oreo for pure enjoyment,\u201d Manaker told Fox News Digital. \u201cI find that so many people fall into an all-or-nothing mindset when it comes to health. \u2026 But the truth is,\u00a0health is\u00a0about the big picture.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Manaker added that one or two cookies, \u201ceven if they\u2019re non-organic, made with seed oils and refined sugar, won\u2019t make or break your health.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBalance and consistency are key,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

However, while the Goop founder\u2019s preference for unpasteurized dairy may spark some curiosity, nutrition experts caution against this choice.\u00a0 Michelle \u2013 stock.adobe.com<\/p>\n

Springer agreed that moderation matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cOreo cookies have a very low nutrient value and have high amounts of sugar, fat, and calories,\u201d she said. \u201cHowever, if eaten in moderation with foods that are high in nutritional value, they can still fit in an\u00a0overall diet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chicago-based Oreo maker Mondelez International told Fox News Digital in a statement that the cookies \u201ccan absolutely be part of a balanced and mindful lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRaw milk can contain a variety of disease-causing pathogens,\u201d said Kelly Springer, a registered dietitian and nutritionist. \u201cThere have been many scientific studies that have demonstrated the risk associated with drinking raw milk.\u201d Sea Wave \u2013 stock.adobe.com<\/p>\n

\u201cMindful snacking is about eating with attention and intention to fully savor those moments,\u201d the statement continued.<\/p>\n

But Manaker said she would \u201cdraw the line\u201d at raw cream in coffee.<\/p>\n

\u201cRaw milk and cream can potentially contain harmful bacteria like\u00a0E. coli, salmonella or listeria,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile some people choose raw dairy because it may retain slightly more nutrients than pasteurized versions, the difference is so negligible \u2013 especially when you consider the small amount of cream most people add to\u00a0their coffee.\u00a0To me, the potential risks just aren\u2019t worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her advice is to stick with pasteurized cream for the same taste and texture, but without the safety concerns.<\/p>\n

As for Paltrow\u2019s confession that she once gagged on a protein-heavy smoothie, Manaker said it\u2019s a good reminder that food should be \u201ca source of enjoyment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf something is making you gag, it\u2019s probably not the right choice for you,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Manaker said, she appreciates Paltrow\u2019s willingness to discuss the\u00a0food and drinks\u00a0that the \u201cShakespeare in Love\u201d star puts into her body.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d skip the raw cream, rethink the gag-worthy smoothie, and focus on finding foods that truly nourish and don\u2019t make you potentially sick or gag at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Gwyneth Paltrow sits down for her morning coffee, the 53-year-old actress likes to drink it topped with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":259172,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[236,17112,8006,3286,13846,97,149,269],"class_list":{"0":"post-259171","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-coffee","10":"tag-diseases","11":"tag-food-drink","12":"tag-gwyneth-paltrow","13":"tag-health","14":"tag-lifestyle","15":"tag-nutrition"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259171\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/259172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
