New research suggests that women who consume more than five cups of coffee each day may experience a reduction in bone density, potentially increasing fracture risk. Conversely, the same study indicates that tea consumption could offer protective benefits for bone health. Scientists analyzed data from nearly 10,000 participants to uncover these contrasting effects of caffeine-rich and antioxidant-packed beverages. The findings highlight how daily beverage choices might influence long-term skeletal strength.
A study of 9,704 women found that drinking over five cups of coffee daily is linked to lower bone density, while tea may help protect them.
