Something to Celebrate
November 8 is National Cappuccino Day! Cappuccino beverages first appeared in late 17th century Vienna, Austria, and were thought to have been created by the Capuchin monks – the name cappuccino refers to the dark brown colour of the monk’s hooded robes. Today an average cup of cappuccino has 30 mL of espresso and 60 mLs each of steamed and frothed milk.
Food Facts
Canadians consume between 210 to 238 mg of caffeine per day each, making it Canada’s most widely used psychoactive substance according to CAMH. Naturally occurring caffeine is found in coffee, tea, colas, and chocolate, and is added to energy drinks and some medications.
The amount of caffeine in a beverage varies, with up to 154 mg in an average cup of cappuccino, to 135 mg in brewed coffee, and between 36 and 50 mg in a 355-mL can of cola. CAMH says moderate consumption of up to 400 mg of caffeine a day (about three 237-mL cups of coffee) will rarely harm a healthy adult.
Happy YODLing!
