00:00Americans are drinking the same amount of coffee, but getting more calories from it.
00:04A Tufts University study found calories from coffee drinks rose about 40%.
00:08The average went from 43 to 60 calories a day.
00:12Researchers studied federal survey data from 30,004 Finite 9 adults between 2003 and 2018.
00:19Coffee volume barely changed, at about 13 ounces a day.
00:23The main driver was non-dairy creamer.
00:25It rose from about 8 calories a day to about 19.
00:29Creamer passed sugar and dairy milk as a calorie source in coffee.
00:32Sugar and dairy milk showed no significant change.
00:35There is a limit to the findings.
00:37The study did not measure health outcomes and relied on self-reported diet recalls that ended in 2018.
00:45Still, it shows how small additions can add up.
