The industry supports a sugar consumption limit of 25%.

Conflict of interest much?

Good point. You can receive greater health benefits by eating actual fruit.

You will be doing yourself a world of good by replacing your coffee habit with tea and water. If you find yourself weary and needing your daily dose of stimulants (i.e. coffee), try drinking more water. It's amazing what an extra half a liter of water a day can do for your energy levels.

As others have already suggested, go with the straight bulk creatine mono. Bulk Nutrition sells 1000 gms for $14.99. If you can come across a better deal, let me know. I'm looking into doing my first creatine mono cycle soon. I've only tried CEE and Kre-Alkalyn so I'm looking forward to going back to the old school ways.
Oh, and as for the sugar...it has it's place (like taking grape juice w/your creatine mono) but the body doesn't require sugar to function (as far as I know) so the benefits of not consuming sugar or consuming small amounts of it far outweigh the "benefits" of consuming it.
