"That's right, drinking coffee can actually be good for you, but it all depends on what you're adding to it. Sugar and dairy change the nutritional value of your cup. By itself, however, a 16-ounce serving of Starbucks' Dark Roast coffee (hot or iced) only has five calories and contains no sugar."
"Per WebMD, black coffee has been linked to better cognitive health, lowering the risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, as well as improving a person's mood. The antioxidants in the beans have also been studied in relation to reducing specific types of cancer, such as breast or liver cancer. When enjoyed black, it doesn't raise blood sugar, which can be very helpful to people on a weight loss journey or those at risk of type 2 diabetes."
Basic black coffee at Starbucks provides minimal calories and no sugar when ordered plain. A 16-ounce Dark Roast (hot or iced) contains five calories unmodified. Black coffee is associated with improved cognitive health, reduced risks of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, mood benefits, and antioxidant-linked reductions in some cancers such as breast and liver cancer. When consumed black, coffee does not raise blood sugar, which can support weight-loss efforts and lower type 2 diabetes risk. The FDA advises limiting daily caffeine intake to about 400 milligrams. Plain green tea is another zero-calorie healthy option.
