Caffeine's Role in Osteoporosis

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!

You're braver than I re saying no to coffee. I'm now down to one cup in the morning with half decaf and half organic caff. ( Also, Barbara O'Neil swears by comfrey tea building bones.) I do put cream in it, but not to give me more calcium. I'm following Dr Susan Brown (brilliant woman!) and her osteoporosis regimen and taking the Alea Cal protocol which guarantees bone growth within six months. I refuse to take the meds the docs recommend to their chagrin. Took fosamax for some years and am not willing to pay the price my friends have in using it. But everyone must follow their own wisdom re the meds. I simply know too much at this point to allow them in my life.
I LOVE my coffee. However I did cut back. I went from 4-5 cups a day to 1-2 cups a day.

I bought parsley tea from Amazon and it is delicious. I have to drink 64 ounces of water daily so I also brew it & then put in fridge because I also like it chilled.
