Cancer Researchers Raise Alarm About High-Calorie Iced Coffees

July 27, 2009: 07:28 PM EST
The iced coffees sold by Starbucks and other high end shops may be costing consumers more than just dollar and cents, thanks to their high calorie content. The World Cancer Research Fund says the drinks, toting anywhere from 450 to 550+ calories each, increase the risk of obesity, the second leading cause of cancer. The researchers say a quarter of a person’s calorie consumption – 2,000 to 2,500 calories – in a day should not come from a single drink. A spokeswoman for Starbucks said the company sells many low-calorie coffees, too.
