Starbucks doesn’t want you to know...

...that most of its lattes pack more sugar than a two-scoop ice cream sundae. The Starbucks nutrition website boasts that one Grande Latte provides half of your recommended calcium intake for an entire day ; what it doesn't say is that some of those calcium-packed beverages also provides almost your entire day's worth of sugars. Check it out: a no-whip Grande Gingersnap Latte packs 34 grams of the sweet stuff, a no-whip Grande Cinnamon Dolce Latte offers 38 grams, and the healthy-sounding Grande Awake Tea Latte includes 31 grams. Add whipped cream, add sugar. And cutting back from 2 percent milk to skim doesn't help, either-in fact, the fat-free versions are even sweeter.
