Cheating the skinny latte drinkers

Canberran coffee lovers consuming more fat than they bargained for: study - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation):

"Canberra coffee lovers opting for a skinny latte are consuming more fat than they had bargained for, with new data suggesting most ACT cafes do not use skim milk in their coffees.

 A survey of 30 Canberra cafes by the Heart Foundation's LivingLighter project found about 57 per cent of cafes used low-fat milk in their coffees when skim milk was ordered.

And of the coffee shops surveyed, 37 per cent did not make skim milk available to their customers.

 Heart Foundation ACT chief executive Tony Stubbs said while the issue was admittedly a "first world problem", for people trying to improve their health and monitor their fat intake, the type of milk used in their daily coffee could make a big difference."
