Hi Canuck, it was nice to meet you at the party. I heard that about preventing absorption. I try to drink 2 to 3 times as much water per cup of coffee. Someone tell me it's okay. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Alcohol does that for calcium too. Also, tea and coffee prevent absorption of iron. It's not the caffeine that does it, it's something else like tannins. Anyway, don't drink either an hour before or two hours after a meal. Doing this helped me recover from anemia.

Hey guys, let's not get too in depth about drinking coffee... this place will soon be the historic site of the "Red River Tea Party".

pound yourself with fruit. give yourself a chili dog.

sseriously though, what's the big deal about leaching calcium, preventing iron intake or whatever?

I'm not absolutely sure, but I thought it both leached calcium out of your system and prevented absorption of calcium into your bloodstream.
Yeah, too much protein blocks calcium absorption.

Single word responses and posts with just emoticons are lame. It reminds me of the "Me too" syndrom that early AOL users were infected with on newsgroups back in the day. If you don't have at least a full sentence to post, then please don't post.
