Your morning latte just got a bit lighter - if you get your java fix at Starbucks, the nation's largest coffeehouse chain. The company announced that by the end of the year it will replace whole milk with 2% milk in espresso concoctions at all its North American outlets. Customers can still request whole milk, but the reduced fat option will now be the default for all Starbucks drinks. Think twice, though, before bucking the low fat trend: a 16oz grande latte beverage made with whole milk packs 260 calories, compared to 190 calories in the new 2% milk version.

 

Of course, if you really want to cut calories and fat, you could opt for an "Americano" coffee instead - no milk and no sugar means ZERO calories and ZERO fat.
