In today’s fast-paced world, bottled iced coffee has become a popular beverage for those seeking a quick caffeine hit. It’s refreshing, flavorful, and convenient to take on the move. However, beneath its refreshing appeal is a lesser-known risk: significant ramifications for bone health.
What Makes Bottled Iced Coffee Harmful to Bones?
While coffee, when drank in moderation, is not intrinsically harmful, the bottled form frequently contains extra substances and hidden hazards that can gradually damage your bones.
1. High Caffeine Content
Many bottled iced coffees contain as much, if not more, caffeine than a typical cup of brewed coffee. Excessive coffee consumption can impair calcium absorption in the gut. Over time, your body may begin to draw calcium from bones to maintain equilibrium, resulting in bone density loss and an increased risk of osteoporosis.
2. Excess Sugar
