This is not at all true. Where do people come up with this wacky stuff?

NP, but it's not wacky? Cream is basically just fat. It's what you whip to get butter (if you whip/churn it long enough).

Cream Label:



Whole Milk Label:



1% Milk Label:

Somebody hasn't been reading up on how these nutrition labels are calculated. Rules allow companies to round up or down depending on the serving size. Most products strategically select serving sizes so they can round down to one less gram of fat, sugar, or other undesirable metrics. In the case of your cream vs. milk, you are looking at something with a ONE TABLESPOON serving size vs. ONE CUP. In reality, heavy cream has about 2/3 the sugar of the milk and also significantly more calories due to the fat. (see, for example https://www.verywellfit.com/heavy-cream-nutrition-facts-and-health-benefits-5189839) In the future, keep serving size in mind when a product claims to be fat free, sugar free, etc. Pam is a great example - it claims 0 calories and 0 fat in 1/4 a second of the spray, which is the serving size. However, one second of the spray has one gram of fat. So it's a complete doctored lie

No, you're correct-- but I did know that, I was just not considering it. But maybe your lecture on doctored lies will be be useful to someone else!

Not moving goalposts, but separately-- the amount of sugar in either milk or cream that is usually added to coffee is negligible for most purposes. That doesn't mean it's nothing and I don't know whether it has a significant effect on IF, but just saying
