Calorie Counting News

Double the Calories from Drinks

A study in Obesity Research found that American adults are getting almost twice as many calories from beverages as they did 7 years ago, and all those alcoholic beverages, sodas, fruit drinks and doctored coffees are contributing to the problem of adult obesity. Adults today get 21 percent of their calories from drinks, or about 222 calories a day. The data showed that people today are drinking more soda, fruit juice and alcohol and less whole milk than they were in 1965. Experts agree that calories from liquids don't register with the body the way solid food does.
