Pure, black coffee is one of the world's most potent elixirs. In fact, research shows that a morning cup can help decrease your risk of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and type-2 diabetes. That’s good news since 77 percent of U.S. adults over 18 years of age drink coffee on a daily or occasional basis, according to Michelle Eichhorn, associate research director at Kraft Foods' Coffee Division.

When summer rolls around, those who usually opt for hot black coffee or a sensible skim latte often change their order to a cooling, frozen drink.  But there's a big difference between an untainted cup of joe and the souped-up, sugar-loaded blends that list coffee as one of the ingredients. Order one of the 11 coffee drinks on this list, for example, and you’ll likely slurp down more fat than a hot fudge sundae. Consider them a warning of just how bad the creamy liquids can be—and opt for the better (much better) choices we suggest.
