I understand that the tannins in tea are supposed to be problematic for calcium absorption. <sigh> So I drink decaf, and am still drinking decaf tea. If my osteoporosis gets worse (which I'll know in October when I get my DEXAscan), given my MASSIVE calcium supplementation, I guess I'll have to give up my tea.<double sigh> Also, "brown drinks" are supposed to be a problem for people who make certain kinds of kidney stones... That would be coffee, tea, colas, etc. I'm not sure what in coffee and tea contributes to kidney stones, but could look it up on the web.
