Does coffee leave you nutrient and/or vitamin deficient ?

worded · 05-11-2019 02:53PM #1

Ive read that it inhibits the absorption of some vitamins and minerals, so do coffee drinkers need to take supplements?

I realise some people may be more sensitive to coffee than others

coffee inhibits the absorption of bull**** spewed by colleagues

Propaganda being spread by big supplements.

No idea .. . I often need to have a dump after drinking some. So it might be the case it does leave you empty

If you drink tea with your dinner the tea prevents iron absorption.
Always have the tea after the dinner.
I’d bet coffee is the same or worse.

IRON seems to take a hit

https://www.livescience.com/9821-coffee-kill-benefits-vitamins.html

Caffeine can inhibit the absorption of iron. Try to consume iron supplements and foods high in iron at least one to three hours before or after drinking or eating foods containing caffeine.

Depends on the coffee. If they mean strong black many times a day, then that is different from occasional instant. .

Everyone’s digestive system is unique and coffee / tea intake will also be different. I drink a moderate amount but sometimes I think it has a negative overall effect from the highs to the lows

I rarely take supplements but magnesium gave me a bit of a lift

Maxwell House leaves me deficient in happiness.

Per mug of freshly brewed coffee.

Riboflavin (vitamin B2): 11% of the Reference Daily Intake (RDI).
Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5): 6% of the RDI.
Manganese and potassium: 3% of the RDI.
Magnesium and niacin (vitamin B3): 2% of the RDI.

Doesn't hold for instant though.

Like all things excess is not recommended.

4 mugs per day if under 55, 6 if older.

Pharmacist here.

I followed those two links. 1st written by a journalist (not a scientist in any way). States the position outright and doesn't reference what he says in any way.

The second was a question asked by the general public to the general public.

I googled the question and found one study linking 300mg of caffeine in a tablet (equivalent to 2 double espresso) decreased the expression of Vit D receptors in women with osteoporosis.

Hardly conclusive evidence. Treat the claim with skepticism and drink your coffee if it makes you happy.

Coffee at 8.30 , toilet at 11

A recent peer reviewed boards.ie thread confirmed that the brown muck sharted out by Frank and Honest is unmitigated scutter.

Works two hours and 29 minutes slower for you.

It seems to have an impact on IQ. People pay €3.50 for a large paper cup of it.

Surely nobody has a coffee and needs to go straight away ?

There is a phenomenon I have noticed over the past years of people walking around random places clutching, almost possessively, often it seems very gratefully , great big card cups that apparently have coffee in them. Reminds me of comfort blankets or soothers, sometimes, because there is a real sense of grasping this cup like it is an essential thing or treasure. A prize. A trophy. Perhaps because I dont drink coffee it is noticeable to me. My family are all big devotees of coffee and the morning ritual with good ground coffee is significant for all of them, but so far the card coffee cup clutching compulsion has not affected them. Its a little funny to see this phenomenon, odd I mean. Can the stuff inside these big card cups really be so wonderful and delicious? Maybe it is. I dont really think it could be, however.
Anyways vaguely connected to the OP the tannins will certainly give some an irritable bladder.

No. Only if you eat with a cup of coffee.

In fact coffee has a lot of vitamins.

6% of the RDA for pantothenic acid (vitamin B5)
11% of the RDA for riboflavin (vitamin B2)
2% of the RDA for niacin (B3) and thiamine (B1)
3% of the RDA for potassium and manganese.

If you eat an hr after drinking it has no affect on the nutrients you absorb.

It does affect iron absorption though if you eat with a cup of coffee. Tea actually inhibits iron absorption more though. If you eat an hr after it makes no difference though.

But coffee actually increased your Vitamin b 12 absorption if you eat foods rich in it along with coffee.

Contrary to popular belief caffeine doesn't appear to inhibit calcium absorption. It does affect iron absorption temporarily though.

Tea affects iron absorption much much more though. A lot of heavy tea drinkers are anemic.

A can of Beamish the previous night will do?

A snippet from that article

A coffee enema is the enema-related procedure of injecting coffee via the anus to cleanse the rectum and large intestines. There is no medical, scientific evidence to support any positive health claim for coffee enemas. The process can result in sepsis, severe electrolyte imbalance, colitis, proctocolitis, internal burning, rectal perforation, and even brain abscess or heart failure.

In winter; coffee in one hand, phone in the other, In summer, water bottle in one hand , phone in the other....

Observations from many years of street market trading as I observed passers by in their multitudes.

Maybe they just do not know what to do with their hands...
