Say It Ain't So...
For those of us who are addicted to Starbucks (of course we have to drive out of town to feed our addiction) we find the following information that was printed in the New York Times:
Your morning Starbucks latte may never seem as sweet again.
If you thought you were being nutritionally virtuous by stopping at Starbucks instead of McDonald’s, the Center for Science in the Public Interest says, “Wrong!’’
A venti — or 20-ounce — Caffè Mocha with whipped cream has 490 calories, equivalent to a Quarter Pounder with cheese. And a 24-ounce Java Chip Frappuccino with whipped cream has 650 calories, not to mention almost an entire day’s allowance of saturated fat.
According to the center, a nutritional advocacy group, the Frappuccino is equivalent in calories to a McDonald’s coffee plus 11 of their creamers and 29 packets of sugar.
Makes the Quarter Pounder sound pretty healthy!!!!
