Coffee calories have jumped nearly 40%. Sugar isn't the biggest culprit

Perspective
I'm cautious about the 40% jump claim; the study's timeframe and comparison groups need clearer explanation.
Source summary
Your morning coffee may be packing more calories than you realize, and sugar isn't the biggest reason. A study of 30,000 Americans found that non-dairy creamer has overtaken sugar and milk as the leading source of added coffee calories, helping drive a nearly 40% increase between 2003 and 2018.
