This study is a comparative, non-experimental study with the purpose to study the pattern of consumption of caffeinated beverages in the U.S. undergraduate students (n=233). The in-class demographic survey and three-day dietary log were collected from the students of the Science of Human Nutrition classes at a public-western university. The caffeinated beverages and water data were collected from a dietary log for this study. The dietary log were analyzed using ESHA software. The sugar data and the total caffeine (from all sources) was collected from the ESHA software diet analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze demographics, caffeinated beverages and caffeine content from the beverages and independent t-test were used to examine the sugar from beverages, added total sugar, caffeine from all sources and water intake in the consumers and non-consumers. The result showed that the 14% of energy in the diet was from the beverages, with coffee, soda and tea being the top three choices in the population. 87.5% of the added total sugar in the consumers was from the caffeinated beverages suggesting the importance of the study.
