Just recently, Starbucks announced a new sized 31 ounce drink called the "trenta". This mega coffee drink has much sugar and caffeine of a strong energy drink. A nutrition expert says that Americans should be cautious of the extra calories and sugar in these kind of drinks. All of these new energy drinks and coffee seems to have high amount of sugar and caffeine. A Trenta sized lemonade has 21 teaspoons of sugar! That is only the lemonade, other sweet drinks will even have more. All of these unhealthy drinks are the cause for the obesity in the United States. Ellen Schuster (nutrition expert) says that we need to watch what we eat and drink.
I think we should all try to avoid these drinks. I personally try not to drink any soda or energy drinks. Of course on occasions, I do drink them, and I do enjoy them. But having that on a regular basis can be extremely unhealthy for us. I think we should listen to the nutrition experts and take their advice to avoid drinking too much coffee or energy drinks.
