Not true. Only if you drink it and fail to cut Calories elsewhere.

When you're ordering the new Starbucks "trenta" iced coffee you're not only getting a massive drink (31 ounces) but massive calories (230 calories using whole milk with sweetener) - with the corresponding potential to pack on more than 20 extra pounds in one year.

And it is not 230 "calories."

It is 230 Calories. (note the uppercase "C")
