A study analyzing 30,000 Americans found that non-dairy creamer has surpassed sugar and milk as the leading source of added coffee calories, driving a nearly 40 percent increase in average coffee calories between 2003 and 2018, according to ScienceDaily. The shift reflects changing coffee consumption patterns and the rising popularity of alternative creamers among American consumers. The findings suggest that cutting coffee calories may require attention to creamers rather than sugar reduction alone.
