Multymeter.com-Healthy: Latte is a coffee drink made from a mixture of espresso, milk and sugar. This drink is popular because it has a delicious and calming taste. However, drinking too many lattes can be harmful to your health.
• Weight gain
Coffees with milk contain a lot of calories and fat. A medium latte (16 ounces) contains approximately 250 calories and 12 grams of fat. If you drink too many lattes, you could gain weight.
• Increased risk of heart disease
Lattes contain saturated fat and sugar that can increase the risk of heart disease. Saturated fats can increase bad cholesterol (LDL) levels in the blood, which can increase the risk of heart disease. Sugar can also increase the risk of heart disease by increasing triglyceride levels in the blood.
• Indigestion
Coffees with milk contain caffeine that can cause digestive disorders, such as diarrhea and flatulence. Caffeine can irritate the stomach and cause faster intestinal contractions.
• Nutritional deficiencies
Lattes do not contain important nutrients that the body needs, such as fiber, vitamins and minerals. Fiber is important for healthy digestion and vitamins and minerals are important for optimal body function.
To reduce the risk of side effects from drinking too many lattes, you can:
Reduce the size of the latte you drink.
Choose a latte with low-fat or fat-free milk.
Add sugar or other sweetener to taste.
Replace coffee with milk with other healthier drinks, such as tea or fruit juice.
