Regular Coffee, Tea Drinking Only Increase Calorie Intake Not Nutrition

Many people considered coffee as an energy drink and cannot spend their mornings and evenings without it. But experts warn that a cup of milk mixed coffee and vanilla-sweetened drink can increase the level of calorie. When someone drinks this by adding sugar, sweeteners, and cream, it increases 69 calories from a single drink.

 The persons with the habit of drinking coffee many times a day increase the significant quantity of calorie in their body. The researchers drafted the report on the basis of the study of 12 years of sweet beverages drinking habit of Americans. The scientists followed the study result of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHNES) to conduct the study.

NHNES conducted a study in 20,000 people who regularly consume coffee or tea. The survey finds that 51 percent of the participants have the habits of regular intake of coffee and 26 percent drink tea, rest of them drink plain. In participants, two-thirds of the coffee consumers admit that they are adding cream, sugar and other calorie-rich substances with their drinks.

One-third of the tea drinkers are also doing the same like coffee drinkers. Professor Ruopeng An, Lead researcher of the team stated that there exists a negligible quantity of health benefits in such drinks. "Compared with adding nothing to one's tea, drinking tea with caloric add-ins increased daily caloric intake by more than 43 calories, on average, with nearly 85 percent of those added calories coming from sugar," An added, Daily Mail reports.

Most of the coffee and tea drinkers likely to add sugar, honey, cream and some other taste increasing substances, these do not contain much nutrition but high in fat and energy, says An. For many of the coffee and tea fanatics who drink without considering the calories in tea, and coffee, do not get any increase in nutrition but only calories.
