Calories in iced coffees increase risk of cancer, experts find
Drinks such as frappuccinos found by World Cancer Research Fund to have as many calories as an evening meal.A survey of iced coffees sold by high street chains Starbucks, Caffe Nero and Costa Coffee identified the worst culprit as the venti dark berry mocha frappuccino at Starbucks, which contains 561 calories. Even without whipped cream it still has 457 calories.
Health experts advise that a woman should consume about 2,000 calories and a man 2,500 calories per day to maintain a healthy weight.
No, really? I guess it was a slow news weekend.
I love these stories… “What? My super sweet, cream and chocolate laiden frothy coffee milk drink isn’t GOOD for me??? Well I never!”
I’m amazed it only makes up (roughly) 20% of the recommended daily caloric intake, I just assumed it was more!
