Dad has always had the habit of drinking strong tea. I found out that he has broken his bones recently. Is it the osteoporosis caused by drinking strong tea?

    Drinking strong tea can hurt your bones. A foreign study analysis of 3170 Americans over 50 years of age on tea drinking habits and fracture risk showed that: people who drink 5 cups of strong tea a day have a higher fracture risk than those who do not drink strong tea 70%. Because there is more caffeine in strong tea, and caffeine can not only inhibit the absorption of calcium in the duodenum, but also accelerate the excretion of calcium in the urine. Due to the dual effects of inhibiting absorption and accelerating excretion, it leads to calcium deficiency in the body, which easily induces the loss of calcium in the bone. It will easily cause osteoporosis after a long time.
