Does coffee decrease your body's calcium levels?

[K.I.L.E.R]

I could never find any information on this. Many people tell me different things.

Is there any solid information on this? Maybe this is absolute b$?

 

[Dizzy]

It looks like it does.

eat a banana and it should help increase your body keep calcium longer

 

[K.I.L.E.R]

So for every cup of coffee I should eat a banana and that would offset any loss fo calcium?

Half the cup?

 

[digitalwanderer]

[K.I.L.E.R]

It wouldn't help anyway. IIRC Clay is mostly a silicon compounds, but I could easily be wrong

Not if it's in the form of a cappuccino

Milk in a cappuccino form? So have lots of cappucino in your coffee?

I dunno, I get shaky enough with just the regular strength stuff. :?

Now you're confusing me!

Milk has that effect on you? That's scary

 

[MuFu]

Yah dig, maybe you should switch to low fat.

A question that's been bugging me for years: What's with americans and caffeine?

I mean, american popular culture is ridden with the hopped up hyper-activated coffee-drinker. And de-caf coffee? What's the point of THAT? Are americans oversensitive to the stuff or something? No swede has ever drunk or will drink de-caf coffee. And we drink a LOT of coffee.

Ok, I've had "the shakes" one time, but that was when I popped four caffeine tablets on an empty stomach for an exam(had been up all night). I'm amazed the teacher could even decipher my scribblings.

I've seen it alot in Seinfeld, they drink coffee during their meals.

That just doesn't sound right.

Hmmm, that might explain some of the goings on from Swedes over in the Ranting, Politics and Sociopathic Behaviour forum then!
