He said, “The biggest problem with coffee is that it is very acidic. Any kind of caffeine is very acidic. Your body has to buffer that acidity with calcium .
Most people nowadays don't have enough calcium in their system anyway. They only have toxic calcium in their system from dairy. But if you have coffee every day, your body has to buffer that with lots of calcium for the acidity.
” A post shared by Theo Bergmann | Certified Health Coach (@_theobergmann) Can coffee intake cause tooth loss? Theo warned that excessive coffee consumption might lead to increased excretion of calcium, potentially contributing to osteoporosis (a condition characterised by weakened and brittle bones) over time, and added that coffee's acidity might contribute to tooth erosion. If good oral hygiene practices aren't followed, it could potentially lead to tooth loss, according to Theo. He said, “What's happening is that if you don't have enough calcium in your bloodstream, your body is using the calcium from your bones and your teeth.
Coffee is not only setting the stage for osteoporosis , but it is also setting the stage for losing your teeth – and on top of that, it is also dehydrating you so much, and it is ageing you faster.” But is this true? A 2018 study published in Nature.com examined the association between coffee intake and tooth loss.
It found that daily coffee consumption is closely associated with tooth loss in Korean adults. Note to readers: This article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always seek the advice of your doctor with any questions about a medical condition.
