HEALTH - A Global Cancer Research Fund points to the health risks of these high-calorie products ...
Some iced coffees, decorated with cream, chocolate and various fats, contain a quarter of the number of calories recommended per day for a woman. That's what the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), an English cancer research institute, reports. In the line of sight of researchers: chains like Starbucks, Caffè Nero or Costa Coffee, which offer drinks providing as many calories as what should be consumed for a dinner ...

These drinks "can lead to weight gain, while scientists now say that after not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight is the most important thing to help prevent cancer" notes the WCRF, adding however, occasional consumption is not dangerous for health.

Avoid cream and sugar

So what should be favored at coffee time? WCRF doctor Rachel Thompson recommends: “As a general rule, if you want to drink coffee, choose a sugar-free version, with skim or semi-skim milk, which has fewer calories. It is also recommended to avoid those that contain a lot of cream or sweet fruit syrups, as these tend to be very high in calories. ”

According to "Le Figaro", the main target of the WCRF is the Frappucino Mocha Dark Berry, a drink marketed since this summer at Starbucks, in the United Kingdom and which counts 561 calories, for the version of 487 milliliters. Even if in France, the little black at the edge of the counter remains the favorite of consumers, the phenomenon of "gourmet drinks" has more and more followers.
