Pumpkin spice lattes, apple crisp macchiatos and chai lattes are staples of fall and winter. The drinks can boost your mood and energy and liven up social gatherings. But drinker beware, says Caroline Brundage, a dietetic intern with OSF HealthCare. She says the concoctions contain more added sugar (sugar not naturally occurring in an ingredient) than you’d think. Some drinks have 50 grams or more of added sugar, she says. And Brundage has noticed more coffee shop drinks with higher levels of saturated fat. “The biggest risk would be weight gain,” Brundage says. “That can lead to heart disease, diabetes and obesity.” Her advice to enjoy fall drinks but stay healthy: modify the drinks, and consume them in moderation.

If you’re purchasing on a coffee shop

You don’t have to worry about going to all the different places like that.” Orcutt has owned the building at 116 S. Main Street for 15 years, but he opened The Red Door Cottage two years ago so he could collaborate with other crafters and artisans in the area. He immediately joine

ST. LOUIS — In 2022, St. Louis won a competitive search to retain and expand Procter & Gamble’s existing home products facility at 169 E.
