    Question

    I drink a couple cups of strong coffee every mourning and One of my visiting, retarded family members told me not to drink coffee because it takes the calcium out of your bones. She said I should be getting bone density tests. I dont beleive this other wise everybody wouldnt drink so much coffee. Is this true?

    Answer
    Yes, caffeine in coffee does leach calcium from your bones. It is important to take supplements and eat a balanced diet to counteract this effect. Also, it does not look like you are overdoing your coffee consumption, so it is probably not as bad as your relatives are making it out to be.

    1500mg calcium and 800IU Vitamin D daily is the general supplement recommendation where osteoporosis or osteopenia is concerned.
