For every Starbucks's Venti Dark Berry Mocha Frappuchino....

Some iced coffees being sold on the high street contain as many calories as a hot dinner, a cancer charity warns.

The chief offender had 561 calories, others contained more than 450, and the majority had in excess of 200.

It is the combination of sugar, full-fat milk and cream which appear to push some of the cool coffees into the upper echelons of the calorie scale.

The World Cancer Research Fund, which identified the drinks’ calories, noted healthier versions were available.

The “venti” or largest version of Starbucks’ Dark Berry Mocha Frappuchino – a limited offer for the summer – contains 561 calories – more than a quarter, WCRF notes, of a woman’s daily calorie intake.

Burn it to earn it: Starbucks London Fog Tea Latte

*by Claire Charlton, Detroit Running Examiner

You hear tea is good for you, so you back off on your morning cup of coffee to enjoy a steaming brew. Good for you! Research shows that the antioxidants called polyphenols found in tea may reduce heart attacks, protect against certain cancers, reduce the inflammation of arthritis and boost bone mineral density.

So you pull up at your favorite Starbucks and order up a tall…no make it a grande, wonderfully-named London Fog Tea Latte. Mmmmm, the scent of bergamot and lavender fills your nose as you take your first sip.

Enjoy that London Fog, because with 2% milk, a grande will give you 200 calories. I’d blame the milk and the sweet vanilla syrup for that, Detroit Runners!

At any rate, be sure to run two miles to burn off that extra 200 calories. And if you are substituting London Fog for your usual Starbucks Latte, you’re getting an extra ten calories!

If you are an afternoon decaf drinker, here’s some interesting news about Starbucks and their p.m. brewing practices.
