Study: Tea Boosts Bone Density, Heavy Coffee Harms Older Women's Bones

  • A 10-year study found tea drinkers tend to have slightly stronger bones.
  • Women consuming over five cups of coffee daily may face a higher risk of bone loss.
  • The research analyzed nearly 10,000 women aged 65 and above.
  • Tea's benefits are linked to catechins, while coffee's caffeine may interfere with calcium absorption.
  • Moderate coffee intake (2-3 cups/day) showed no measurable harm to bone density.

Why It Matters: What you drink daily can strengthen or weaken your bones as you age.
