Tea May Help Bones of Older Women, Coffee Could Hamper Them
TL;DR Summary
A study of about 9,700 US women over 65 found regular tea drinkers had modestly higher hip bone mineral density, possibly due to tea catechins, while higher coffee intake (>5 cups/day) correlated with lower bone density, especially among lifetime alcohol consumers; results suggest tea may support bone health but do not recommend increasing coffee, and calcium/vitamin D remain key to bone health.
