Few moments in time are as magical as the first few weeks of fall. Winter is still a comfortable three months away, and those perfect 70-degree days are full of apple picking, soup simmering, fall-scented candles, cozy throw blankets and red and yellow-hued hikes. And of course, we would remiss if we didnt mention the extreme amount of pumpkin spice latte sipping that goes on.

According to a survey conducted by OnePoll for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters last fall, 35% of respondents said they would name their child Pumpkin Spice if it meant having the flavored coffee for life. That shows that our collective obsession with pumpkin spice isnt letting up anytime soon.

While there are a handful of ways to consume pumpkin-flavored coffee and a wide variety of coffee brands from Dunkin to Peets Coffee that sell it, this article focuses on nutrition facts for Starbucks pumpkin spice latte, or PSL, which is by far the most popular option.

There have been more than a few rumblings about the festive PSL being a tad unhealthy. But how bad is it, exactly? We investigated and heres what you should know.
