A study by researchers at Tufts University, published on October 19 in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, shows that coffee drinks consumed by US adults have become more caloric, even though the amount of coffee has stayed the same.
The team analyzed federal NHANES survey data for 30,459 adults from 2003 to 2018. Consumption stayed around 13 ounces a day, but calories from coffee drinks rose on average from 43 to 60 a day, an increase of about 40%.
The main driver is nondairy creamer, which contributed about 19 calories a day in 2018, compared with about 8 in 2003, overtaking both sugar and dairy milk. The authors note that the study did not track health outcomes, relies on self-reported data and ends in 2018.
