From WebMD:Osteoporosis diet danger 3: the cost of caffeine:
Caffeine leaches calcium from bones, sapping their strength. For every cup of coffee you drink, you may lose about 4 milligrams of calcium.
That's not as much of a loss as from salt, but it's still worrisome. Caffeine is a particular problem for those who don’t get enough calcium each day to begin with.
The good news is that adding a 1-2 tablespoons of milk to your coffee probably offsets any calcium losses that caffeine causes.
Coffee is a major caffeine source. For example, a 16-ounce cup of coffee can provide 192 milligrams of caffeine. High-caffeine sodas can contain up to 33 milligrams per can or more.
Although tea also contains caffeine, studies suggest it doesn't harm, and probably helps, bone density in older women, regardless of whether they add milk to the beverage. Researchers think that tea has plant compounds that help protect your bones.
Yikes, @madhub140! Looks like my coffee-drinking days are numbered…over! No worries tho’, I’ve already begun to switch to tea in part because coffee and milk don’t mix for me. And tea has some delicious flavors. Good, too, that tea can actually provide some benefits to our bones. Give my taste buds and body (headaches) a week to adjust and they’ll be saying, “Coffee, what’s that awful stuff!?” 😋.
Seriously, thank you for your post; this sheds light on a subject that hasn’t been discussed with me by any health professional in the 15 or so years since I was diagnosed with OP.
Have a great week! Cheers!
