Does drinking coffee every day contribute to osteoporosis? ?

Question

I heard that coffee can cause either calcium or vitamin D to become depleted over time, and thus contributes to weakening of the bones. Is this truth?

Answer 1

Yes its true.  Any caffeinated beverage or chocolate does the same thing.

Its the caffeine, it decreases the absorption of calcium, Vitamin D is needed to help calcium absorb as well that's why milk companies put it in milk.  But if you live in the South don't worry about getting vitamin D as the sun's rays does the same thing by providing Vitamin D.

Answer 2

That sounds like it is true, try to limit coffee, if your drinking it everyday then you probably have some type of problem.  

Too much of a good thing is a bad thing.

Answer 3

Osteoporosis is a degenerative bone disease, which can lead to an increased likelihood of bone fracture, primarily due to calcium depletion. Osteoporosis is known as a ’multi-factorial’ condition, this means that no single factor alone, such as coffee drinking, would cause this condition. The condition arises as a result of several lifestyle factors. So if your going to drink coffee check out some of the flavored coffees.
