Your November Cafecito May Carry More Sugar Than You Realize

By

David David Sanpedro, Pharm. D.

Pharmacy Manager

A Cuban cafecito is part of Miami’s daily rhythm, but the sugar added during preparation can turn a small drink into a surprisingly sweet habit. Repeated servings throughout the day can add up, especially when paired with sweet pastries. Excess added sugar can contribute to unwanted calorie intake and make blood sugar management more difficult. You can continue enjoying your coffee tradition while gradually reducing the amount of sugar you add.

Tip of the Day:
Ask for less sugar in your next cafecito, or prepare it at home using a smaller amount. Avoid assuming that a tiny cup contains only a tiny amount of sugar.

Spiritual Focus:
“Let your moderation be known unto all men.” — Philippians 4:5

Prayer Suggestion:
Ask God for wisdom and self-control in everyday habits, including the small choices that affect your health.
