Brief Answer:
No it cannot
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query
A XXL coffee is around 700 - 750 ml of coffee. Double cream would be around 5 - 10 ml. The concentration of fat in cream is between 18 - 30%. When it is mixed in 700 ml of water, it becomes quite diluted (~0.025%).
Thus there is no risk of elevating your cholesterol with double cream and 1 sugar.
Hope that answers your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
