Food Swap: Which Coffee Drink Is Healthiest?

Most Americans rely on a morning pick-me-up to get their day going. While coffee itself isn't bad for you, many of the popular drinks these days are loaded with immune-suppressing sugar. But you can make a simple swap that’ll give you a good caffeine buzz without all the unnecessary sugar.

Ditch the Starbucks Frappuccino, in which has 47 grams of sugar – that's 32 more grams of sugar than I recommend all day. Instead of that energy-crashing, belly-fat promoting sugar drink, try a black coffee with cream and a packet of Stevia. And to stay hydrated, have a glass of water for every cup of joe you drink.
