Everyone already knows that I regularly correct other people's nonsense in publications about health.
Now from fresh - an article on coffee and osteoporosis.
The guys who like to substantiate their conclusions with various foreign publications have written a small article about coffee and bones. Coffee does not promise osteoporosis, and there is no evidence that caffeine intake of up to 400 milligrams a day has any effect on bone health.
Well, as usual, these guys give a link to a huge English-language review.
And again these guys are wrong. Coffee can trigger osteoporosis and increase the risk of fractures.
Personally, I always respect those who try to substantiate their conclusions with scientific data. Even trying is good. But then we got an overlay.
If anyone is interested, you can see below the link to the synopsis of that review. In fact, the review itself is not publicly available. Do you know how big the review is? More than 200 pages. In English. Colleagues from abroad have kindly provided me with access to the full text. I read only the part about bones in it. There are tons of examples of osteoporosis and fractures. It would also be difficult for me to draw a conclusion.
Fortunately, specially trained American experts have already read this and many other reviews and made their own conclusions. And in a straightforward text, succinctly stated it on a cool professional resource called UpToDate.
They believe that if women drink a lot of coffee, they may have osteoporosis and increase the risk of fractures. This is especially true for those who are low on calcium. A lot of coffee is more than 330 milligrams a day. It can be as little as 150 milliliters of espresso. Moreover, tea does not work that way. There is something else useful in it.
