Carbohydrates in Coffee – there are none. And only 9 calories in each cup.

But compared with most beverages around the house, coffee is very light on the bad stuff, and bursting with good stuff.

* Coffee contains no cholesterol and no saturated fat

* Coffee is low in sodium

* Coffee beans contain no sugar
