Food Therapy, High Coffee Intake and Calcium Fortified Foods in Risk of Osteoporosis (OP)

By Kyle J. Norton


In compared to herbal medicine, food therapy even takes longer to ease symptoms, depending to the stages of the treatment which directly address to the cause of disease.

Epidemiological studies do not agree that coffee and coffee caffeine may have an increased risk of bone loss, inducing osteoporosis in healthy adults and menopause women.

Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particular in the West, is a drink made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

In a longitudinal population-based Swedish Mammography Cohort, included 61,433 women born in 1914-1948, with followed up from 1987 through 2008. returned questionnaires by participants showed insignificant effects of coffee consumption in correlated to bone loss inducing fracture of any type to 14,738 women , and 3,871 had a hip fracture.

According to the reported, high coffee intake (≥4 cups daily) was associated with a 2%-4% lower bone density, the risk of osteoporosis had a relative risk ratio of 1.28 in compared to a low intake (<1 cup daily) group.
Dr. Hallström H, the lead author said, "high coffeeconsumption was associated with a small reduction in bone density that did not translate into an increased risk of fracture".

Further more, the a cohort of 31,527 Swedish women aged 40-76 years at baseline in 1988, at the follow-up of 10.3 years, osteoporotic fractures is found in 3,279 cases proposed that risk of high coffee in take((>330 mg/day) showed a moderated relative risk ratio of increased risk of fracture of 1.20 in compared to low coffee consumption(<200 mg/day).

More impotantly, low calcium intake (<700 mg/day) also is found to associate to increased risk of fracture with both a high caffeine intake and coffee consumption.

According to the found evidences, National Food Administration, the institute conducted the study opinionated that people drinking more than 4 cups of coffee equivalence to 330 mg may be at risk of fracture and osteoporosis, moderately.

Interestingly, in a 980 postmenopausal women aged 50 to 98 years (mean age, 72.7 years) participated between 1988 and 1991 in determinated the risk association to lifetime intake of caffeinated coffee, in cup-years, to bone mineral density (BMD) of the hip and spine in postmenopausal women, long term coffee intake expressed a profound effect with statistically significant graded association with caffeinated coffee and decreasing BMD at both the hip and spine.

But this result was revered for those women, drinking at least one glass of milk per day during most of their adult lives.

The found evidence, suggested that high amount intake of coffee and caffeine may have a negative impact in increased moderated risk of osteoporosis but intake of calcium supplement or calcium fortified milk or products may ease the concerns.
