Some iced coffees being sold on the high street contain as many calories as a hot dinner, a cancer charity warns. The chief offender had 561 calories, others contained more than 450, and the majority had in excess of 200.
癌症慈善機構警告，市面販售的一些冰咖啡熱量最高等同一頓熱騰騰的餐點，熱量最高的有561卡路里，其他高於450卡路里，大部分都超過200卡路里。
It is the combination of sugar, full-fat milk and cream which appear to push some of the cool coffees into the upper echelons of the calorie scale. The World Cancer Research Fund, which identified the drinks’ calories, noted healthier versions were available.
包含糖、全脂牛奶與奶油，似乎是讓部分冰咖啡卡路里飆高的原因。點出冰咖啡的卡路里的全球癌症研究基金指出，還是有比較健康的冰咖啡可以選擇。
The "venti" or largest version of Starbucks’ Dark Berry Mocha Frappuchino - a limited offer for the summer - contains 561 calories - more than a quarter, WCRF notes, of a woman’s daily calorie intake. Take away the whipped cream and it has 457 calories. The smallest version, without whipped cream, provided 288. But even some options with skimmed milk are high in calories.
全球癌症研究基金指出，星巴克夏季限定的大杯黑莓摩卡星冰樂561卡，超出女性每日卡路里攝取量4分之1以上。去掉奶泡剩457卡，最小杯沒有奶泡的288卡，不過有些咖啡即使用的是低脂牛奶，卡路里也很高。
WCRF said it was highlighting calorie content, because after not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight "is the most important thing you can do to help prevent cancer".
全球癌症研究基金表示，之所以凸顯卡路里含量，是因為不抽菸之外，維持健康體重「是預防癌症最好的方法」。
Earlier this year it estimated that 19,000 cancers a year in the UK could be prevented if people lost their excess weight.
今年稍早全球癌症研究基金估計，如果英國民眾減去過重體重，每年可避免1萬9千人罹癌。
