Ice coffee 'same fat as a meal'
Let's be careful out there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOME iced coffees contain more calories than a steak and chips dinner, an expert said yesterday.
Dr Rachel Thompson found women who have the drink are consuming a quarter of their recommended 2,000 calorie daily intake.
This increases their chances of becoming obese - which could lead to cancer, heart disease and diabetes.
Dr Thompson of the World Cancer Research Fund studied iced drinks from three top chains.
Starbucks' dark berry mocha frappuccino in the largest venti size with added whipped cream has the highest number of calories - at 561.
A well-done steak with chips contains 525 while roast beef and trimmings have 540. A double chocolate frappe and a mocha frappe latte containing sugar and semi-skimmed milk at Caffe Nero contains 483. And the highest at Costa was the 332-calorie massimo coffee frescato - which has vanilla-based sugar syrup.
Most iced coffee drinks contained more than 200 calories.
Dr Thompson said: "The fact there is an iced coffee with over a quarter of a woman's daily calorie allowance is alarming.
The Sun
"There are some iced coffees on the market that are low in calories so it is worth shopping around. We found one that has just three calories."
Starbucks said it had some low-calorie iced drinks available. A spokesman added: "We believe our customers want quality and choice."
well i find all that diets and dietitians do not know what the truth is! one time that's good the other it's the opposite. maybe the metabolism has not yielded all its secrets, or it is that everyone has an individualised treatement.
i'm lost. the dietetians' fault.
Hahahahhaha Brit!!
