"A new study has shown that regular tea drinkers may be less likely to develop osteoporosis than coffee drinkers. Researchers found those who sipped tea daily had a higher bone mineral density (BMD) than those who did not drink tea, in what scientists called a meaningful result. Moderate coffee consumption was not found to have a negative impact on bone density."
"However, those who drank more than five cups of coffee daily had reduced BMD levels, suggesting that excessive intake may be detrimental to bone health. Scientists said tea drinkers have a higher bone density than those who do not drink tea (Adobe Stock) The Flinders University team analysed data from nearly 10,000 women aged 65 and older over a decade while measuring their bone density."

A Flinders University analysis tracked nearly 10,000 women aged 65 and older over a decade while measuring bone density. Tea drinkers had a slightly higher total hip bone mineral density compared to non-tea drinkers. Moderate coffee consumption showed no negative impact on bone density. Consuming more than five cups of coffee daily was associated with reduced BMD. Experts noted that modest increases in bone density can translate into fewer fractures.
