Coke vs Coffee
I've stopped drinking Coke for a few reasons: acidity, carbonation and sugar. Of course I can't go without caffeine so I started drinking coffee instead. Here's a general comparison (numbers extrapolated from Tim Horton's web site) between a 600ml bottle of Coke and a large double cream double sugar coffee from Tim's:
Coffee packs a better punch, has less sugar but more fat and less overall calories. Both probably stain your teeth equally well though ... and let's not forget about coffee breath. Maybe I should move on to caffeine mints. heh Posted at March 27, 2004 at 05:01 PM ESTLast updated March 27, 2004 at 05:01 PM EST Comments
In my office, we drink Tea. Lots and lots of green tea. » Posted by: roy at March 27, 2004 07:10 PMIf you give me the data, I'll add a green tea column. ;) » Posted by: Ryan at March 27, 2004 08:20 PMDid you know Pepsi Light and Coca Cola Light have ZERO calories! » Posted by: Jimmy at March 27, 2004 11:10 PMThey also taste like crap and have too much carbonation. What's your point? :) » Posted by: Ryan at March 27, 2004 11:48 PMGreen Tea will have 20 mg of Caffeine per 8 oz of water. Pretty much all Teas have 0 Fat or Calories, unless you add milk or sugar. http://www.stashtea.com/caffeine.htm Do you usually drink green tea, uh ... green? :) » Posted by: Ryan at March 28, 2004 07:40 AMI still have avoided the adults-drink-coffee phase. Lately, I have been drinking hot chocolat at work - more for nourishment then to stay awake. I will admit that this month has been very hard on me (riight, boo hoo) - and I do not always remember to bring a lunch... » Posted by: aforward at March 28, 2004 04:57 PMsee... I have a different problem: I just like the taste of coffee. Caffeine doesn't really have a big affect on me, or I would drink de-caf, but the fat and Calories can definitely add up. So I'm screwed. I do tend to drink a ton of water during the day, so I really don't think 1-3 cups of coffee during the day at THAT bad... And coffee breath is annoying, so I bought a travel-sized toothbrush and toothpaste to counter-act the problem :) T. » Posted by: Travis at March 28, 2004 11:06 PMNice table! But you don't list the vitamin content for either drink... :P » Posted by: Paul Butler qx at April 28, 2004 07:49 PM |
