Two new coffee drinks from java giant Starbucks don't actually contain any coffee, but the Coconut Creme and Vanilla Creme Frappuccinos do contain a whopping 870 calories each--and an entire day's allowance of saturated fat.

"I doubt that many people suspect that a drink from Starbucks can be as bad for your arteries as a three-quarter-pound New York strip steak," says senior nutritionist Jayne Hurley of the Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington, DC. "If ever there were a poster beverage for requiring calorie information on menu boards, this is it."
