If you drink one cup of coffee a day, I don't think it's going to be an issue It's part of a larger picture and genetics also play a large part of it. Drinking one cup of coffee with one tablespoon of sugar is a lower daily intake than six cups of coffee, each with one teaspoon What can be problematic is if you forget to account for snacks/drinks when/if you consider your health. A tablespoon of sugar would roughly cover 2.5% of my daily energy requirements. If I start drinking three cups of coffee like that every day and continue my regular diet, I'll probably start gaining weight as I'm getting 7.5% more calories by drinking three cups of coffee If you eat a "deep-fried ice cream" every day, it's probably not healthy for you, but three cups of coffee with a tablespoon of sugar every day, is equivalent of adding a pint of Ben&Jerry's chocolate fudge brownie ice cream to your diet every single week (based on calories) - that's not healthy either
