1. “When choosing beverages in a healthy dietary pattern, both the calories and nutrients that they provide are important considerations.

Coffee, tea, and flavored waters also are options, but the most nutrient-dense options for these beverages include little if any, sweeteners or cream.” Harvard School of Public Health
