It seems that people who don't think end up with the worst food in their belly.

Coffee drinks loaded with fat and calories: report.

.
A regular latte or cappuccino from a Canadian coffee shop packs a punch in fat and calories, a new report shows.
.
The Centre for Science in the Public Interest took a close look at the offerings from Canada's big three coffee chains, Tim Hortons, Starbucks and the Second Cup.
.
Starbucks' blackberry green tea Frappuccino was the worst, weighing in at 560 calories and nine grams of fat per 16-ounce serving.
.
A Tim Hortons double-double — with two creams and two sugars — has 160 calories per 10-ounce cup. A black coffee had about 10 calories and no fat.
.
"We're concerned about the public health implications of people consuming food products or beverages that can adversely affect their health," said Bill Jeffery of the Centre for Science in the Public Interest in Ottawa.
.
One drink could pack the 500 to 600 calories of a healthy dinner of chicken breast, rice and vegetables.
.
Starbucks started the sweet trend to lure people who don't necessarily like plain coffee.
The strategy worked, and the high-calorie drinks are among the most popular at coffee kiosks across Canada.
.
But a single beverage can represent a quarter of your recommended daily caloric intake, with little nutritional value.
.
A daily double-double or low-fat latte adds up to an extra 17 pounds of fat in one year.
