A recent study found that U.S. adults consumed nearly 40% more calories from coffee drinks in 2018 compared to 2003, despite stable coffee consumption levels. The increase in calorie intake was primarily attributed to the rising use of nondairy coffee creamers, which surpassed sugar and dairy milk as the main calorie source in coffee. The average daily calorie intake from coffee rose from 43 to 60 calories over the 15-year period, with nondairy creamer contributing significantly to this increase. The study, which analyzed data from over 30,000 adults, highlights the impact of added ingredients on coffee's nutritional profile and suggests that understanding these trends is crucial for assessing overall health. While the research did not examine health outcomes, it raises concerns about the implications of higher-calorie coffee drinks on nutrition.
