00:00Americans are getting more calories from coffee, even though they are not drinking more of it.
00:04Average coffee intake held steady at about 13 ounces a day, from 2003 to 2018.
00:10But calories from coffee rose from 43 to 60 per day, up nearly 40 percent.
00:16The biggest driver is not sugar, but non-dairy creamer.
00:19By 2018, non-dairy creamer added 18.5 calories a day, more than sugar or milk.
00:25Sugar contributed 16 calories, and dairy milk added 11.
00:30Non-dairy creamer intake more than doubled, from 3.37 to 8 grams a day.
00:35Non-dairy creamers can be high in saturated fat, which is calorie-dense.
00:40Researchers at Tufts University analyzed national survey data from 30,000 American adults.
00:46People who slept less or worked longer hours tended to drink more coffee.
00:50The study relied on people recalling what they ate and drank.
00:54The cup has stayed the same, but what goes into it has changed.
